• Cost competitive hosted flights of payloads to gain flight heritage via payload characterisation and data collection; and early revenue generation & market testing.
• General engineering support.
In-Space offers a turnkey service encompassing payload development support; integration of payload into the spacecraft; system testing; licensing; launch; commissioning; on-orbit operations (6 months included in ticket price); secure data delivery; and everything in-between.

The service uses a 6U/8U cubesat platform – 1st launch in March ’20. A much higher performance, 2nd gen microsat (up to 50kg payloads) service is being developed under an ESA programme with launch in 2022. Typical prices are ~£100-200k /kg depending on payload reqs and launch date.

In-Space also has >150 engineer-years of experience in building space missions and can support programmes technically.

Capabilities: Cubesat-based missions, space mission definition, development tools for payloads and space missions.- Mission simulator: cloud-based mission and system simulator software.
- Platform emulator: physical kit emulating the structural, power and electrical interface of the satellite. (available in 3U, 6U and 12U). It can be used for payload developers for preliminary validation of payload-platform interfaces, as well as running test campaigns of the payload. It can be connected to the mission simulator to simulate a first concept of operations (power, ground station visibility, target areas, etc) for Hardware-in-the-Loop tests.
- Mission definition document: OC has expertise in running ESA projects using CubeSats and can provide the necessary definition of the different segments (satellite, launch, operations)
