Cubecat

Overview

CubeCAT is a compact, high-performance Lasercommunication terminal for use in CubeSats and small satellites.

CubeCAT is designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind. This system suits commercial CubeSat applications well, with modest size- and power requirements and no licensing requirements, but also meets the increasing need for high data rates in small satellites, through offering a large data rate with a small volume terminal.

The CubeCAT is part of the CubeCAT Lasercom system and is the result of a joint effort by Hyperion and TNO.
