  1. PROJECT PROPOSAL

  2. Agenda • Micro Satellite Market Overview • System Description • Performance • Project Estimates • Implementation Timeline • Summary

  3. Micro Sat (10-100 kg) • Nano Sat (1-10 kg) Microsat Market: Capacity SpaceWorks forecast: http://spaceworksforecast.com/2017-market-forecast/ Project goal: 30% market share by 2020 (20-25launches per year)

  4. Applications & Users SpaceWorks forecast: http://spaceworksforecast.com/2017-market-forecast/ Microsat Constellations: • Earth Observation: • BlackSky Global (44 kg)– 60 • Hera (24 kg)– 48 • Iceye (<100 kg)– 50 • OmniEarth (110 kg)– 15 • PlanetLabs (5-150 kg)– 100 • Satellogic (35 kg)– 300 • TerraBella (120 kg)– 24 • Earth Science • GeoOptics (100 kg)– 24 • PlanetiQ (20 kg)– 22 • Telecommunication • ORBCOMM (43-172 kg) – 47 • OneWeb (172-200 kg)– 648 • SpaceX (100-500 kg)– 4000

  5. Key Customers & Their Needs • Universities & educational institutions • space experiments from idea to results within 1 year • simple payload integration • Innovation & startups • quick spacecraft deploy • possibility for nonstandard orbit insertion • technology leaking risk reduction • Business & government • solutions in case of emergencies • urgent delivery into orbit

  6. Current Capabilities Piggyback Launch: ESPA, ASAP & SHERPA Cluster Launch Dedicated Launch Pro: • standard spacecraft integration procedure • shorter time to launch Cons: • safety restrictions (rocket motors, high pressure vessels etc.) • orbit limited by primary payload Pro: • non-standard spacecraft can be launched • individually tuned orbit Cons: • long wait before launch (up to 2 yrs) • spacecraft integration can be complicated Pro: • any spacecraft • any orbit Cons: • expensive due to existing launch vehicles

  7. Solution Provide a fast, reliable & efficient access to Earth orbit by offering launch services close to a customer with a flexible aerospace system worldwide • innovative solution for micro/nano spacecrafts • relative low launch cost per payload weight • spacecraft integration and launch next to a client worldwide • instant mission implementation • any orbit, any application

  8. LV Onboard the Carrier Launch Equipment
