The final products and services of the

company

• «NanoSat Services» company is dedicated to providing commercial launch services on the interstage of Soyuz family of launch vehicles (including systems engineering support and analysis) to nanosatellite & CubeSat manufactures, placing nanosatellites in special containers on the developed platform.

The potential market, according to preliminary estimates, is about 3 to 5 nanosatellites for each launch of "Soyuz", which, at low cost at creating additional structures, would be about $200 000 – $400 000 of profitability with each launch. The average annual rate of return of the project "NanoSat Services“ may reach $1million by 2020.

The purpose of innovation project:

Stage 1

Stage 3

Stage 2

• The aim of this innovative project is to develop a cost-effective interstage platform for piggyback payloads with placing and deploying interface system for “Souz” Launch Vehicles.

Milestones for completion of the project:

The development and testing of interstage integrated structure of platform with fasteners and containers (adapters) for deployable and non-deployable small-sized payloads (nanosatellites)

Design and engineering models and principles of control system and separation of the satellite, attached to additional structures in the interstage

Design and development of Nanosatellite Separation Control Unit (NSCU is already patented by “NanoSat Services”), including mechanical and electrical interfaces separation systems
