Satellite Bus Structure

2 an optimized small satellite bus and structure for the themis mission ssc06 iv 5 walter r.
Satellite bus structure. The payload and bus will use our smartsat software defined satellite architecture first announced in 2019. The bus is the infrastructure of the spacecraft usually providing locations for the payload typically space experiments or instruments. Our products are on virtually every u s. The software defined payload houses advanced optical and infrared cameras utilized by lockheed martin s advanced technology center to further mature and space qualify artificial intelligence ai and machine learning ml technologies.

Satellite built in the last 20 years. Satellite central tubes currently within the artes programs esa supports european industry in upgrading the cfrp central tubes for the eurostar and spacebus families of telecom satellites for new larger missions. Bus structures towers and subsystems northrop grumman is a leading designer producer and supplier of spacecraft components such as composite bus structures towers radome structures and subsystems that house flight critical systems for commercial civil and government satellites.
Bus derived satellites are opposed to one off or specially produced satellites. From wikipedia the free encyclopedia this page includes a list of satellite buses of which multiple similar artificial satellites have been or are being built to the same model of structural frame propulsion spacecraft power and intra spacecraft communication.
