ISISPACE: Pioneering Smallsat Solutions for a Smarter Space Future

ISISPACE was founded in 2006 and has its headquarters in Delft, Netherlands. ISISPACE is a vertically integrated company specializing in turnkey small satellite missions- from design and subsystems to launch, ground operations, and complete mission delivery.

Key focus areas

Satellite platforms & subsystems

ISISPACE offers highly modular and scalable satellite platforms designed primarily for CubeSats (ranging from 1U to 27U+ configurations). These platforms provide the structural, electrical, and data-handling backbone for payload integration. It also develops a broad suite of flight-proven subsystems for integration into its platforms or third-party satellite buses. ISISPACE also provides integration services that ensure seamless compatibility of subsystems and payloads.

Power systems 

ISISPACE offers a comprehensive range of power systems designed specifically for CubeSats and small satellite platforms. These Electrical Power Systems (EPS) are critical for managing, storing, and distributing electrical energy onboard a spacecraft. Built with a modular and flight-proven approach, ISISPACE power solutions ensure mission reliability and compatibility with a wide variety of satellite configurations. ISISPACE Electrical Power Systems modules are responsible for power regulation, protection, distribution, and battery charging. These units are optimized for CubeSats and come in configurations that suit different satellite sizes (1U to 16U+). It manufactures high-efficiency solar panels tailored for both body-mounted and deployable configurations. ISISPACE offers compact, lightweight battery packs using Li-ion cells with built-in safety and protection mechanisms. It also offers custom power system configurations, thermal and mechanical integration support, and system-level optimization to meet mission-specific energy needs.
