CARD-SAT CONCEPT
CARD-SAT Concept emerged from the need of creating smaller, lighter and more affordable satellites that could provide support for an easier and more sustainable access to space. The concept follows the trend of miniaturization of electronic components.
CARD-SAT is new type of pico and nano satellite that has a thin panel shape. With all elements included, the thickness range of this type of slim parallelipipedic-shaped satellite starts from 1 cm.
CARD-SAT structures can have different sizes from one unit to three unit size and can have different thicknesses in the range of 10 mm to 40 mm.
The CARD-SAT Solution is based on the use of a thin aluminium structure with a complex design. The aluminium frames developed are complex in order to fix mechanical elements that will simplify the design and development process for further personalised applications.
CARD-SAT structures are equipped with micro switches, antennas with deployment mechanism and passive attitude system. The developers will get a real support for their fast design for new projects.

Company Mazarom also developed new deployment systems that will help launch the new CARD-SAT satellites.
