Last week, we announced our new line of cost-effective performance CubeSats to complement our legacy suite of smaller satellites, enabling SFL to meet the evolving needs of missions spanning 3kg to 500+kg...
AISSat-1 is a 7-kilogram, 20cm-cube nanosatellite constructed by SFL for the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI) and the Norwegian Space Centre (NSC). ...
SFL was the first microspace company to develop and integrate the hardware systems and software algorithms that make autonomous formation flying a reality for micro- and nanosatellites at costs low enough...
Autonomous formation flying enables multiple satellites to work together and, in some cases, effectively perform functions of a larger satellite, or perform missions that cannot be accomplished with a...
One of the first microsatellite challenges we addressed more than 20 years ago was the issue of attitude control. Because of lower mass, smaller satellites are impacted more severely than larger-mass satellites...
We have several microspace missions now under development at our facility in Toronto. These will serve a variety of Earth observation, radio frequency communications, and atmospheric monitoring applications...
Attitude control and pointing stability are more challenging with smaller satellites than larger ones due to the difference in inertia of the platforms. The greater inertia of a traditional-size satellite...
