Using COTS in New Space

ABSTRACT

The use of COTS components is not only the way for small companies and research centers to have more affordable and fast access to Space, but it has become a recognized design philosophy, and it is proving increasingly to be an effective strategy to use proven and cutting-edge technologies to meet new requirements and face development challenges. SATLANTIS has adopted this concept as the basis of its missions that, developed and launched in a short time, allow the company to achieve otherwise unthinkable goals. An overview of SATLANTIS’ missions and milestones will be presented to showcase the use of COTS technologies.
