satellites
GomSpace NanoSatellites offer a fast, cost-efficient path to space for missions that demand agility, scalability, and rapid deployment. They enable rapid response launches and constellation-based architectures without the complexity and cost of larger spacecraft.
GomSpace NanoSatellites are built on flight-proven platforms that simplify payload integration, reduce development risk, and accelerate time to orbit.
NANOsatellite platforms
At GomSpace, we deliver nanosatellite missions built on nearly two decades of flight heritage and operational experience. Our nanosatellite platforms are based on high-performance, field-proven subsystems, providing a reliable foundation for missions where performance, repeatability, and schedule confidence are critical.
Our platforms support a wide range of demanding mission profiles — from rapid in-orbit demonstrations to full-scale constellation deployments — and are fully designed and qualified for long-term operation in Low Earth Orbit. Built around standardized, multi-mission architectures, they enable efficient integration while maintaining the flexibility required for mission-specific tailoring.
All GomSpace nanosatellites are built on standardized Platform Kits, providing a common, flight-proven foundation across multiple mission profiles. This modular approach reduces development risk, shortens schedules, and ensures predictable performance — while still allowing mission-specific customization where it matters.
SCALABLE FROM 6U TO 16U
USING THE SAME TRUSTED SUBSYSTEMS
From compact technology demonstrators to high-performance constellation spacecraft, our nanosatellite platforms scale in capability without changing the underlying architecture. Customers benefit from consistent interfaces, qualified subsystems, and a clear upgrade path as mission needs evolve.
