About
XDSAT NL is a 12U-16U class satellite platform from XDLINX Space Labs’ XDSAT family, offering 8U of payload volume/mass for hosted payloads including EO optical, SAR, SIGINT, IoT and laser instruments. It runs the Antaris SatOS distributed compute stack across bus, payload edge and SDR. The platform delivers 3-axis pointing accuracy and stability of ±0.002° (1-sigma) with 2 star trackers, orbit knowledge of 1 arc-second over 1 second, and 4 m / 0.05 m/s navigation performance. Power comes from 105 W solar panels with 210 Wh of storage, and multiple electric and chemical propulsion systems are available. TT&C and software updates run securely via S-band SDR and UHF, with X-band downlink up to 500 Mbps, and ground control through public or private ground stations using Antaris mission control software. XDSAT NL reached flight heritage in Q2 2024.
