Fully Integrated Satellite Buses

Moog offers a variety of satellite bus solutions that can meet the needs of any payload or launch, including national security space missions. Our satellite buses are designed for VCLV and NSSL-class launch vehicles and leverage our flight-proven technology and heritage in spacecraft avionics, flight software, propulsion, and structures that have demonstrated success from low Earth orbit (LEO) through geosynchronous orbit (GEO), as well as in lunar and deep space missions.

Our spacecraft buses can be used as a “smart deployer” for CubeSats, ESPA, and ESPA Grande-class payloads. They are modular platforms that are configurable for both short durations and multi-year missions in a wide range of orbits and transfer capabilities. The overall structure is optimized for payload and launch configuration and is easily tailored for different mounting requirements.

Why Choose Moog Satellite Buses?

Our modular and flexible advanced satellite bus solutions are ideal for a wide variety of payloads and flight profiles for dynamic space operations from low Earth orbit through geosynchronous orbit and beyond, featuring proven technology, heritage reliability, and multi-year mission capability. All Moog buses are built around our radiation-hardened Integrated Avionics Unit (IAU), which offers a command and data handling/electrical power subsystem (C&DH/EPS) solution within one unit for a full range of spacecraft and payload applications Our fully integrated software can monitor the entire health of the space vehicle. With a strong heritage of success, we provide the trusted expertise needed for the most critical space missions.
