LAUNCH VEHICLES
Amphelion's launch vehicle solutions enable groundbreaking, low-cost, access to space and open-up new possibilities for nanosatellites.
TRIALBLAZER
Trailblazer makes suborbital flight accessible to commercial customers and opens a multitude of new possibilities in research and testing.
HELIOS
Helios is a dedicated nanosatellite launch vehicle capable of delivering payloads of up to 20kg into sun-synchronous orbit.
PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY
Aphelion's propulsion team has developed and produced a number of rocket engines, including a current line of 250N engines for testing the Trailblazer propulsion system.
AVIONICS
Scalable, proven avionics enable key innovations in our launch vehicles such as aerospike thrust vectoring.
SPACECRAFT SYSTEMS
APHELION PRIMARY BUS MODULE (PBM)
At the heart of the Aphelion Cubesat system is the PBM: an integrated EPS and on-board computer solution designed for mission-critical, volume constrained environments, offering significant mass and volume savings while simplifying system design.
CUBESAT CHASSIS (1U-6U)
The Aphelion structures use an open frame, lightweight design developed to be fully compatible with the CalPoly standard.
TRIPLE JUNCTION SOLAR PANELS (1U-6U)
Our solar panels are rigorously tested according to GSFC and CASC standards, with each 30.5% triple junction radhard cell individually characterized and qualified for GEO use. Light and temperature sensor come standard.
UHF/VHF RADIO
The Aphelion UHF/VHF radio is a highly configurable, lightweight TT&C system designed for CubeSat missions.
