The platforms developed by Alén Space reflect the extensive experience of the team in the manufacture of small satellites under the CubeSat standard. Sizes 1U, 2U, 3U, 6U, 12U and 16U are available, manufactured with high-quality processes and ready to be integrated in record time with the payload of any type of space mission. All buses are designed to accelerate the development time of individual nanosatellite projects or small satellite constellations.

Lead Time: 12 weeks
