Dragonfly Aerospace, a leader in the global space industry, is excited to announce the launch of its latest range of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and ITAR-Free space components. These state-of-the-art components have achieved Technology Readiness Level 9 (TRL 9), a testament to their proven reliability and performance in the most demanding space environments.

Reliable and Versatile Solutions

Designed with an emphasis on quality and precision, Dragonfly Aerospace’s new line-up of space components adheres to the rigorous standards set by the European Space Agency’s ECSS. This ensures that they meet the stringent requirements for mission success, offering reliable and versatile solutions for the global space industry.

“We are thrilled to introduce our new line of space components,” said Marcello Bartolini, Head of Engineering at Dragonfly Aerospace. “Our team has worked tirelessly to create components that not only meet but exceed the stringent requirements of modern space missions. By adhering to the highest quality standards, we are enabling our customers to achieve mission success with greater confidence.”

 

Key Components in the Line-up:

  • EPS-LP (Electrical Power System Low Power): Now in its 8th generation and currently flying on EOS SAT-1, EPS-LP is an advanced 28V Electrical Power System designed for spacecraft power control and distribution. Scalable for power input and output up to 1500W, it offers exceptional reliability and performance, making it ideal for micro and mini satellites
  • 28-300 Battery Module: Dragonfly Aerospace’s 28V Lithium-Ion battery module provides spacecraft systems with proven resilience in energy storage and an exceptional peak power handling capability required for high-performance missions. Its modular design allows spacecraft system engineers to scale energy storage and power to meet specific mission requirements. The battery can be implemented as a standalone solution or used in conjunction with our EPS-LP for enhanced interoperability. The 28-300 Battery Module is easily adopted in global markets due to its ITAR-free, COTS components.
  • RW-1Nms (Reaction Wheel): Engineered for imaging satellites, this high-performance reaction wheel offers exceptional platform stability and precise control, ideal for missions requiring swift slew manoeuvres and high maximum momentum.
  • HDRTx (High-Data-Rate X-Band Transmitter): The flight-proven, high-reliability transmitter designed for low Earth orbit spacecraft, capable of high data rates and utilising DVB-S2 technology to optimise link margin and maximize data throughput.
  • Sold only as part of our full satellite avionics suite:
    • OBC-Q7S (Onboard Computer): A high-reliability onboard computer designed for LEO microsatellites, offering substantial processing power and memory to run a complete satellite software suite, including high-fidelity Attitude and Orbit Control Systems (AOCS) with Fault Detection, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR).
    • SSMM (Solid-State Mass Memory): This high-speed, high-reliability data storage solution for LEO spacecraft offers 512 GB of storage capacity and read/write speeds of up to 26 Gbps.
