KISPE to develop proton testing campaign for next-gen microsatellite technologies
KISPE Space Systems, a Farnborough-based programme execution and systems engineering company, is in collaboration with the University of Surrey, making detailed preparations for a comprehensive proton-testing campaign on its next-generation microsatellite platform microelectronics
These tests will enable the company to continue the development of the platform and drive the commercialisation of the microprocessors for future, low-cost small-satellite missions.
SPRINT, the national business support programme, will fund the planning and preparation for comprehensive proton testing campaign and enable KIPSE Space to develop virtualised environments for collaborators to develop solutions based on these processors and initiate evaluations of a new group of commercial processors for additional mission applications.
