Coral High Performance NanoSat

Comtech AeroAstro's Coral NanoSat provides a flexible and affordable, yet highly capable platform to support a variety of small science and technology or quick-reaction operational missions. Our robust, flexible, and reconfigurable satellite design is optimized through the use of high-performance components, standardized and non-proprietary interfaces, and proven software architectures—while still complying with all CubeSat and Poly-Picosatellite Orbital Deployer (P-POD) specifications and requirements.

The Coral spacecraft can provide unobstructed payload volumes up to 1.3U and 1.972 kg in mass, and on-orbit average power of 3.8W (5W peak). The spacecraft provides excellent agility/stability performance (slew rates up to .5 degree/sec) and pointing accuracy (better than 0.3 degree accuracy), enabled by the Comtech AeroAstro-developed miniature star tracker. This performance permits the Coral design to accommodate the stringent pointing/slew requirements of Electro-Optical or Space Situational Awareness payloads, while still retaining affordability for less demanding missions.
