Small Satellite Capabilities
Parabilis is a low-cost provider of satellite bus structures, propulsion systems, and support services tailored to the unique needs and tight budgetary requirements of the cube-, micro-, and smallsat markets. Parabilis engineers have extensive experience designing, testing, assembling, and integrating small-sat buses and structures, and can design a custom bus for any payload. Parabilis personnel provided the technical leadership for two 6U Perseus-M satellite buses, the power systems engineering and flight support for the successful CYGNSS constellation of eight smallsats, and (most recently) the assembly, systems integration, assembly, test, commissioning, and launch prep for the Landmapper smallsat constellation for AstroDigital.
