GOMSPACE 6U STANDARD PLATFORM

The GomSpace 6U Standard platform has been designed as a standardised entry-level 6U CubeSat. This model can accommodate missions with higher payload volume compared to the GomSpace 3U platform. 

The GomSpace 6U Standard platform provides: electrical power management, ADCS, TMTC, OBC functionalities and S-band data links. Propulsion (cold gas or electric), star tracker, and/or X-band datalink can be provided on request. 

More information can be found in the GomSpace Platform White Paper.
