Why it matters

It gives European small-satellite customers a home-grown option for last-mile delivery and in-orbit demonstrations, built from hardware UARX already sells.

How the technology works

OSSIE is built from modules: more solar arrays add power and more tanks add delta-v. It carries UARX's own avionics, deployment sequencers, CubeSat and PocketQube deployers and separation rings, and can raise orbits, change inclination and phase satellites within a constellation.
