CubeSats On Clyde Space’s Mind… And Website…

Clyde Space has opened a website and online shop with all sorts of new features such as newsletters, blogs, case studies of previous missions, and more. However, what sets this website apart from other space company websites is that the site allows the visitor to buy spacecraft online with a credit card. There is currently a mini revolution taking place in the space industry; the revolution is called CubeSats and it has set in motion an unstoppable demand for standardized, low-cost spacecraft and spacecraft subsystems on demand. For an industry that is used to having to wait for 12 weeks for a high reliability resistor to be delivered, CubeSat customers can expect delivery of complete satellite units in 4 weeks or less. The standardization of mechanical and electrical interfaces for microspacecraft platforms such as CubeSats has meant that vendors are able to produce subsystems in large quantities to help keep the unit costs as low as possible. Clyde Space Ltd is a leading supplier of small satellite power components. Formed in 2005 by the ex-Head of Power Systems at Surrey Satellite Technology Limited, Clyde Space has designed, manufactured, and tested spacecraft power system electronics, lithium polymer batteries, and solar panels for small satellite programs all over the world, including SOHLA-2 (Japan), SumbandilaSat (South Africa), InnoSat (Malaysia), Paradigm (USA), OPTOS (Spain) and many others. Clyde Space is committed to providing cost effective, high performance, fit-for–purpose spacecraft subsystems for small satellite budgets. For more info, select the Clyde Space homepage graphic below…
