In-orbit demonstration of your technology

The GreenBox service from R-Space is a dedicated In-orbit Demonstration and In-Orbit Validation (IOV) service. The form factor of the satellite bus is similar to a 2U CubeSat. The bus was designed for IOD/IOV purpose only and reduces the satellite's complexity to a minimum.  


1. Feasability Assessment

Signature of a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Exchange of major interface and requirement information. Negotiation of service components.

2. Contract Signature

Signature of service agreement. Exchange of detailed requirements and interface control documents. Customer receives the PAU and starts integration and tests.

3. PAU Delivery

Customer finished integration of their technology into the PAU and passes all functional testing. The PAU is delivered back to R-Space.

4. PAU Integration

R-Space receives the PAU with integrated customer technology. Following an integration and test review, R-Space is integrating the PAU in the satellite bus.
