GOMSPACE PLATFORM KITS

MINIMIZE COMPLEXITY, REDUCE RISK, AND ACCELERATE YOUR MISSION

Every space mission starts with an ambitious goal—whether it’s to advance scientific discovery, improve communication, or monitor our planet from orbit. But for too many teams, the journey from vision to launch is filled with obstacles: long development timelines, complex procurement processes, and the technical challenges of integrating multiple subsystems.

These hurdles don't just slow progress—they drain resources, introduce risks, and delay the ultimate mission objectives.

At GomSpace, we believe that YOUR ambitious goals should be accessible and that mission teams should focus on what truly matters: their payload, their data, and their impact. That’s why we created the GomSpace Platform Kits – a fast build-in solution designed to minimize complexity, reduce risk, and accelerate satellite missions.

Minimize Risk, Maximize Reliability
The GomSpace Platform Kits are built around our high-performance, field-proven subsystems, ensuring reliability from day one. Our standardized satellite kit is ready for assembly and payload integration, with straightforward interfaces that simplify the process.

Every kit includes:
• A complete set of subsystems and harnessing.
• A comprehensive integration manual and technical documentation.
• A robust and reliable platform based on the GomSpace product portfolio.
• 50 hours of dedicated customer support to assist in the process.

Who are these kits built for?
Whether you’re a research institution or a commercial enterprise, the GomSpace Platform Kits provide a proven, reliable foundation for your space mission.

We empower teams to achieve their goals in space without being weighed down by technical hurdles. We help you reduce costs, streamline development, and achieve mission success faster than ever with:

• Complete kits of standard spacecraft parts,
• Comprehensive documentation to enable quick and easy integration
• Support from our experts to help you all way through your project

Your mission deserves a launchpad that’s as ambitious as your vision. With GomSpace, the path to space has never been clearer.
