Spacemanic

Spacemanic is a nanosatellite provider based in Brno, Czech Republic. It delivers full mission solutions for CubeSat class satellites.

The company was founded in 2019. It supports clients through every phase of a satellite mission, from mission design and platform development to integration, launch and operations. Its flight proven technology serves scientific, commercial and technology demonstration missions. It also has a Slovak entity.

Spacemanic sells satellite platforms from 1U to 16U. Each one is a modular base for a customer's payload. It also sells flight proven subsystems, including computers, communications, navigation and power systems.

Its mission services include launch management, satellite operations and development support. Launch management covers defining mission parameters, finding a launch provider, handling paperwork, and pre-flight testing and integration. It supports orbits such as low Earth and sun synchronous orbit, MEO, GEO, polar orbit, the ISS, lunar orbit and deep space.

Development services cover embedded system design, hardware, firmware and software work, 2D and 3D CAD drafting and PCB design in rigid, flex and rigid-flex forms. Testing covers vibration, thermo-vacuum, radiation tolerance and antenna measurements. The company also offers a CubeSat calibration platform and ground station services.
