Summary

The Kongsberg NanoAvionics M16P is a 16U nanosatellite bus designed for NewSpace applications.

It is designed to provide a pre-integrated and pre-qualified platform that is fully tested electrically, functionally, and mechanically for a faster and simpler setup.

NanoAvionics offers three M16P nanosatellite standard performance configurations – Light, Mid, and Max – providing options that best match customers’ payload, mission objectives, and budget. The standardized setups enable engineers to spend more development time and resources on high-level tasks, such as payload development and its support during operations.

The system is fully tested and pre-qualified for rapid flight acceptance and also features a sample mission code so that diagnostics can be run upon delivery.
