CARD-SAT® is a new structure for picosatellites.
CARD-SAT® thickness starts from 10mm and can vary depending on the shape, structure and purpose of the satellite.
CARD-SAT® is developed according to the Single Board PCB concept.
CARD-SAT® is a convenient and cost-effective solution for rapid development from idea to finished product.

CARD-SAT® offers engineers a simple design solution.
Scientific and educational projects can benefit from reduced manufacturing and operating costs, with miniaturized sizes and modular configurations.
CARD-SAT® structures are equipped with triggerable antennas, micro switches and passive positioning systems.
Developers will be delighted by how quickly they can complete a project.
The structure of the satellites is made of hard-anodized aluminium, machined using CNC machine tools but can also be made using AM 3D printers.
