Satellite platforms

Indra Space provides end-to-end satellite solutions, from mission and instrument design and development to integration, testing, and operation. Our innovative platforms combine high performance, agility, and adaptability.

Our versatile range of platforms, spanning from 6U to 200 kg, delivers complete and customised solutions to meet all mission requirements.

We ensure maximum reliability thanks to ESA qualification and rigorous testing in our clean room. With a modular design, our platforms adapt to different payloads, missions, and applications, offering unique flexibility.

Mini4EO

Mini4EO is a multi-task platform that enables simultaneous image acquisition and downlink across a wide range of scenarios. It offers more than 5 years of reliable service in LEO orbits, with an average power generation of 400 W in solar pointing mode.

The wet mass of the Mini4EO platform is around 200 kg. Combined with its compact mechanical design, the platform stands out for its agility, rapid reprogramming, low latency, and available volume for EO payloads.

It combines a high battery capacity (1555 Wh) with exceptional agility, achieving from -45° to +45° in under 15 seconds (using CMGs) on roll and pitch axes. In addition, Mini4EO is compatible with a wide range of launch services, allowing selection according to customer requirements.

  • Service life: 5+ years in low Earth orbit (extendable to 7 years)
  • Wet mass: 190 kg
  • Dimensions: 90 x 90 x 155 cm
  • Maximum power: 400 W in Sun Pointing mode
  • Battery capacity: 1555 Wh
  • Agility: ±45° in 15 s (roll/pitch) with CMGs
  • On-board processing: AI for imagery
  • Design: Robust, modular, mission-configurable, cost-oriented

Insight4EO: on-board intelligence for immediate response

Insight4EO is the on-board processing solution with artificial intelligence for Earth Observation missions that demand rapid decision-making and low latency.

Designed for critical operations such as maritime surveillance or emergency response, this technology enables the satellite to analyse, classify, and prioritise data directly in orbit, transmitting only the truly relevant information.

Insight4EO combines intelligent data capture, autonomous assessment, and dynamic mission reprogramming, optimising bandwidth usage and drastically reducing response times.

With the ability to generate EO products autonomously and provide customised applications for end users, Insight4EO transforms each satellite into an intelligent system capable of determining what matters and acting accordingly.
