Bosphorus Satellite and Space Technologies

The engineering behind your mission.

We develop electric propulsion systems and build custom hardware and software for CubeSats and SmallSats. From onboard computers and radios to power electronics and flight software, we design and test around your mission.

Experience across the spacecraft lifecycle.

22 satellite missions

17 subsystems developed

137 subsystems in orbit

Our team brings experience across 22 satellite missions, spanning architecture, subsystem development, integration, commissioning and operations.

Experience gained by team members in previous industry roles.

Electric propulsion

RF gridded ion and Hall effect propulsion are at the core of Bosphorus. We develop the thruster, its power electronics and its operating control as a connected propulsion system.

In development

RF Gridded Ion Thruster

RF plasma generation, gridded ion acceleration and coordinated power processing for satellite maneuvering.

RF Gridded Ion Thruster

In development

Hall Effect Thruster

Hall effect propulsion with dedicated discharge power, cathode control and spacecraft interfaces.

Hall Effect Thruster

Custom development

Power Processing & Thruster Electronics

PPUs, RF plasma power generators, high voltage supplies and thruster controllers for customer propulsion systems.

Explore Thruster Electronics

CubeSats. SmallSats. The systems inside them.

We design and build the subsystems that keep your mission operating. Choose a custom board, an integrated subsystem or software for your existing hardware.

Avionics, power and control

Onboard computers, electrical power systems, ADCS electronics and sensors, and embedded flight software.

Communications and antennas

UHF and S-band telemetry and telecommand radios, X-band data downlinks, software defined radios and mission-specific antennas.

Ground equipment

Ground terminals, interface electronics, FlatSat integration benches and automated test equipment.

Engineering services

Systems engineering, orbital analysis, structural and thermal engineering, mission planning and commissioning support. Bring our engineers into a focused technical task or an active development program.

Explore Engineering Services

Design. Build. Integrate. Verify.

Electronics, software, mechanics and mission engineering work together. We develop the interfaces, operating sequences and test equipment alongside the hardware, delivering a system that fits the spacecraft around it.
