Overview

Space bus platforms, also known as satellite buses, are the structural and functional frameworks upon which various space missions are built. They provide essential infrastructure and support systems for payloads, power, propulsion, communication, attitude control, and other necessary functions to keep the spacecraft operational. Satellite buses also handle a variety of tasks related to data acquisition, storage, processing, and transmission.

About

Designing high-reliability satellite bus systems

Mission requirements, such as payload type and mass, orbit, mission duration, and any unique operational needs drive system design considerations. Optimizing mass and volume distribution is key. And the lighter the platform, the more payload it can carry to its orbit, which contributes to mission efficiency. 

Ensuring efficient and reliable satellite bus operation is crucial for long mission life. And system reliability starts with choosing the right components. Infineon’s HiRel and rad hard solutions are engineered for optimal performance and longevity in extreme environmental conditions, including exposure to severe ionizing radiation in space. Our products are flight-proven under space radiation conditions across thousands of programs worldwide, from space satellite buses to space exploration vehicles and more. Customers count on us for our proven track record in high-reliability products, portfolio longevity, and long-term commitment to space.
