DIYSATELLITE is a global space technology company that is passionate about democratizing access to space. They specialize in developing pocketqubes, compact satellites that integrate complex systems into simple interfaces. With their launch services, DIYSATELLITE is making it easier for anyone to access and explore space.

In March 2021, DIYSATELLITE will launch the DIY-1/ARDUIQUBE, the first private Argentine pocketqube, from Baikonour via SOYUZ-2. This technologically advanced satellite demonstrator is used for the amateur radio satellite service. Pocketqubes offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional cubesats, with significantly lower prices for launching to low Earth orbit (LEO).

These small satellites, measuring 50mm per side, provide various functionalities such as Earth imaging, magnetic field measurement, orientation detection, and more. One of the significant advantages of pocketqubes is their ability to be placed in self-decaying orbits, preventing the accumulation of orbital debris. After a few weeks of operation, they safely re-enter the atmosphere and burn up.

Alternatively, they can be placed in Sun Synchronous Orbit at a height of 500 km for a longer lifespan. DIYSATELLITE not only provides fully integrated boards with transceivers and microcontrollers for building pocketqubes but also offers battery charging boards, solar panels, and aluminum structures. They also offer launch services, allowing small satellites to be flown alongside other satellites as secondary payloads, reducing costs.

If you're interested in exploring space and want to create or launch your pocketqube satellite, DIYSATELLITE has the solution for you
