Bosphorus Satellite and Space Technologies

Electric propulsion and custom subsystems for CubeSats and SmallSats.

Bosphorus develops 1 mN and 15 mN electric thrusters and the power processing electronics that drive them. We also design and build custom avionics, power systems, radios and flight software for your spacecraft.

CubeSats. SmallSats. The systems inside them

We design and build the subsystems that keep your mission operating. Choose a custom board, an integrated subsystem or software for your existing hardware.

Avionics, power and control

Onboard computers, electrical power systems, ADCS electronics and sensors, and embedded flight software.

Communications and antennas

UHF and S-band telemetry and telecommand radios, X-band data downlinks, software defined radios and mission-specific antennas.

Ground systems and test equipment

Ground terminals, interface electronics, FlatSat integration benches and automated test equipment.

Engineering services

Systems engineering, orbital analysis, structural and thermal engineering, mission planning and commissioning support. Bring our engineers into a focused technical task or an active development program.

Explore Engineering Services

Design. Build. Integrate. Verify

Electronics, software, mechanics and mission engineering work together. We develop the interfaces, operating sequences and test equipment alongside the hardware, delivering a system that fits the spacecraft around it.
