Mission Details

UoSat 12

Building on the experience and technology of its modular microsatellite platform, SSTL is developing a mini-satellite platform. This platform permits payloads to be carried with greater power, volume, and mass than that available on the standard microsatellite bus. It has civil and military applications in LEO communications, remote sensing and space science, and can be deployed in LEO, GEO or interplanetary orbits.
