More Info on CesiumAstro

Cesium offers a suite of scalable products from discrete modules to complete software-defined payloads that work out of the box. The integrated product line ranges from single-beam downlink solutions to multi-beam, full-duplex communication payloads.

System-level products include:

  • VIREO Multi-beam APA System‍
    The Vireo is a multi-beam active phased array system for high-throughput satellites. The design addresses the state-of-the-art performance requirements for constellations under aggressive SWaP-C targets.
  • NIGHTINGALE 1Ka-Band High Speed Downlink Payload
    The Nightingale I is a complete, plug-and-play communication system. The module combines a cutting-edge software-defined radio with an ultra-wideband, phased array antenna, offering a wide choice of communication parameters and dynamic reconfigurability of the system.
  • COMMPACK Cross-link Communications Payload
    The CommPack Cross-link Communications Payload uses building blocks from Cesium’s modular device ecosystem to enable mobile ad-hoc networking in space. This swarm technology is paving the way for future small satellite missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Modules include:

  • SOFTWARE-DEFINED RADIO SDR-1001
    A high-performance, compact software-defined radio designed to operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environments.
  • SINGLE-BOARD COMPUTER SBC-1461
    A credit-card-sized single-board computer designed to operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environments with integrated communications and security features. The module features a quad-core processor, error-correcting code memory, mass storage, redundancy and multiple data interfaces in a compact form-factor.
  • POWER-CONDITIONING UNIT PCU-1C28
    A high-efficiency, compact, DC-to-DC converter designed to operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environments that provides a regulated, isolated, 12V rail suitable for powering the full suite of Cesium communication products.
  • UP/DOWN CONVERTER UDC -1AT1
    A wideband up/down converter designed to operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) environments with an on-board frequency synthesizer and low power consumption all in a credit-card-sized footprint. The module supports time division up- and down-conversion with 1GHz of instantaneous bandwidth and offers the ability to combine IF channels for further flexibility.
