Unique Value Proposition
-
Plug & Play
Standardized, easy-to-install solution with HDRM and optional solar panels
-
Fail-safe
Fault-tolerant by design, thanks to our backup mechanism that restores the panels to a default position
-
Autonomous System
Our dedicated electronics guarantee autonomy from the satellite computer, so it can stay focused on its mission
