MINIATURE SATELLITES
Space access with 5cm form factors. Traditional satellites cost millions. Our PocketQubes (1P to 3P) provide a low-cost, high-reliability platform for rapid orbital deployment.
Key Technical Features:
- Modular Architecture: Standardized PCB stacks for power, processing and comms.
- Rapid Prototyping: Transition from design to flight-ready hardware in record time.
- Launch Compatibility: Designed for standard MR-FOD or AlbaPod deployers.

XavSat-1 Mission – WE ARE GO FOR LAUNCH!
The XavSat-1 mission is ready for space. After rigorous testing and final integration, Ghana’s first private PocketQube is set to make history!
Mission: Earth Temperature and Pressure Profiling
Mission goal: Take/measure Temperature & Pressure data and send it back to earth everyday for the entire duration of the mission. Data should be sent back to the ground station every 24 hours.
XavSat-1 Spacecraft Specifications
PocketQube: 1P Chassis
Payload: (Quantum temperature & pressure payload)
Average Payload Power: ~ 1 W
Altitude Control: Passive Bar Magnet
Mass: <250 g
Antenna: Deployable 437 MHz UHF dipole antenna
Payload Data Downlink: 1.2kb/s (UHF)
Altitude Determination and Control System
Precision meets efficiency in the XavSat-1 ADCS. Our mission-critical stabilization system uses the Earth’s own magnetic field and a passive bar magnet to maintain perfect orientation without draining onboard power. By stripping away the complexity of active controls, we’ve created a fail-safe environment for high-stakes scientific and defense payloads. This ensures that sensitive quantum data remains accurate and aligned, providing reliable performance even when operating in the most challenging orbital conditions
1p PocketQube Kits (for educational or initial SPACE projects)
Our 1p PocketQube Kits (XavSat-P-Kits) are entry-level, modular satellite systems (5cm³) designed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and orbital reality.
Key Features:
- Educational Excellence: Provides hands-on experience with core satellite subsystems (OBC, EPS, and Radio) at a fraction of the cost of traditional CubeSats.
- Rapid Prototyping: Allows for quick testing of sensors, code, or hardware in sub-orbital or simulated environments before moving to full-scale missions.
- Mission Ready: Uses standardized, stackable PCB “sandwiches” that meet strict 250g mass limits and are compatible with standard AlbaPod deployers.
Ready-to-Fly (fully functional PocketQube)
Our Ready-to-Fly (RTF) PocketQube (XavSat-series) is a professional-grade, fully functional satellite bus designed for immediate orbital missions.
Key Features:
- Mission Ready: A complete, integrated spacecraft featuring solar panels for power generation and a high-reliability communication module.
- Specialized Payload: Includes a dedicated module tailored for your specific sensors, cameras, or research experiments.
- Expert Integration: Fully assembled and flight-proven architecture to ensure reliability from launch to de-orbit.
Pricing: Custom-configured based on mission requirements.
