METEORITE

ESPA CLASS SMALL SPACECRAFT BUS

METEORITE is an ESPA Class Small Spacecraft Bus product family used for a variety of missions in LEO including High LEO (1000 to 1200 km). METEORITE is ideal for pathfinder constellation missions or other disaggregated mission types. METEORITE leverages the same core avionics from Moog’s Space Vehicle family that have been demonstrated in missions from LEO to the Moon. The green propulsion system is ideal for rideshare or dedicated small launch vehicle missions and provides enough capability for deorbit from High LEO. The relatively high thrust can be used for collision avoidance or other rapid orbit changes. The simple and robust all aluminum structure provides radiation shielding and can support a range of payload configurations.
