Products
NPC Spacemind offers space products for nanosatellite platforms, space mission design and development, and advanced mechanisms for complex space systems.
CUBESAT SEPARATION SYSTEMS
Advanced CubeSat separation systems and a family of lightweight CubeSat deployers available in 3U and 16U sizes, designed to offer optimal handling flexibility at a competitive price, with a shortened lead time. SMPOD03 is the latest SPACEMIND deployer designed to launch CubeSats up to 3U with a mass of 6kg. SMPOD16-CASPIAN is a family of deployers compatible with CubeSats up to 16U, with high flexibility on the size and mass of the satellites hosted.
CUBESAT DEORBITING SYSTEM
ARTICA (Aerodynamic Reentry Technology In CubeSat Applications) is a compact deorbiting system compatible with the CubeSat format and it can be easily assembled with any structure.
The system is based on the deployment of an aerobrake sail (2 sqm) and it is able to accelerate the decay of the orbit and safe destruction in Earth atmosphere of the satellite at the end of the mission, as an effective response to the problem of space debris.
