HyperSat is a modular, versatile satellite platform that, equipped with specialized instruments, will enable a broad spectrum of space missions, ranging from radar to telecommunication to optical ones.
The HyperSat platform will benefit from the best practices of producing pico- and nanosatellites (called CubeSat), weighing several kilograms, but will be designed to carry larger instruments and apparatus. With its larger size, the use of HyperSat satellites will be significantly wider than that of nanosatellites.
The Creotech product range will consist of replaceable functional modules. In the smallest configuration, the satellite will measure 30x30x10 cm and weigh 10 kg. The system can be expanded to a maximum size of 30x30x60 cm and a weight of 60 kg by adding additional modules or instruments.
Within the Creotech project, a number of modular satellite subsystems will be developed and prepared for integration, including: a carrier structure capable of withstanding the congestion caused by a rocket flight and allowing the assembly of standardized components using the HyperSat BUS, such as a satellite-to-rocket separation subsystem, power subsystem and battery, photovoltaic panel subsystem, radio modulesand antennas.
