What Sets Us Apart
Our advantages
The only Russian platform in the 70–110 kg class
This market segment has grown for five years without any domestic manufacturer. Our A100 platform closes that gap — versatile for Earth observation, communications, IoT, and scientific missions, designed and built entirely in Russia.
600 W of payload power at half the cost of competitors
In peak payload power, the A100 outperforms every platform in its weight class. No foreign design offers comparable power at a comparable price.
In-house onboard computer
Our onboard computer is designed entirely in-house — a 12-core 1.6+ GHz processor, a custom-built operating system, and support for onboard AI and computer vision tasks. Its specs match the world's top 10 comparable systems.
A team with real flight experience
Behind the platform are engineers who worked on Proton-M, Angara, Meteor-M, ISS modules, and Elektro-L. Our team includes more than 20 specialists carrying that accumulated expertise into a new format.
