EnduroSat announced the launch of DeskSat, its most advanced FlatSat.
DeskSat was developed by EnduroSat’s team after extensive work on multiple missions with academic and commercial space customers. As with other FlatSat systems, DeskSat mirrors the electronics and software of a satellite, enabling extensive testing and fully representative payload integration before an operational satellite is manufactured.
Unlike other FlatSats, DeskSat comes fully integrated with unique software tools for development and operations: SpaceDev and SpaceOps. This opens completely new capabilities for space engineers to work on diverse missions with the highest level of accuracy during development and testing campaigns.
DeskSat is already available to pre-order with a fixed price of US$85,000 which includes a one-year professional license for both SpaceDev and SpaceOps. The setup includes: Onboard computer; two transceivers (S-band and UHF), one transmitter (X-band); 1x ADCS computer and a representative integrated Electric Power System (EPS). The DeskSat will be showcased for the first time at the SmallSat conference in Utah from August 5-10. The announcement follows a period of rapid growth for EnduroSat which closed a US$10m Series A in May, led by the EU Private Equity CEECAT Capital which is focused on the high growth markets in CEE region. Existing investors including Freigeist Capital also joined the round. EnduroSat’s Balkan Constellation of 120 NanoSats was recently selected by ESA and the EU for the Copernicus Contributing missions. The constellation will provide the Balkans and the EU with unprecedented revisit time, real-time cloud-based monitoring services, and AI-powered detection. It will accelerate access to maritime surveillance, humanitarian, and ecological support, as well as environmental monitoring. Raycho Raychev, Founder & CEO EnduroSat, said “The DeskSat is another step in EnduroSat’s mission of making space universally accessible and secure. It provides space engineers with unprecedented capability to develop and test their space solutions in a safe and affordable way. Accelerating test campaigns and ensuring maximum accuracy of simulations on the ground provides a higher chance of success in orbit. The DeskSat contains all the components that engineers need to maximize their pre-flight testing campaigns. I am proud of my team’s efforts in designing and producing our next-gen FlatSat”.
