05 Services

The engineering behind the adapter.

MA61C is a product. Getting a satellite to fly modularly is a service. SPiN provides system engineering and digital integration support from architecture to AIT — with modularity as the design principle, not an afterthought.

System engineering

Bespoke, all-inclusive support for the whole project. Modularity is at the heart of it, which is what produces the flexibility — and the reduction in cost.

  • Mission and system architecture
  • Model-based systems engineering
  • Requirements and interfaces
  • AIT planning and execution
02

Digital integration support

SPiN’s expertise in digital integration, applied to the compatibility problems that stall a programme: buses that do not agree, drivers that do not exist, telemetry that cannot be read.

  • Interface and protocol adaptation
  • Driver and device integration
  • Onboard software architecture
  • Bench and simulation setup
SPiN services presentation

System engineering, digital integration and AIT, delivered as one scope.

How a project runs

Four phases, one team.

You do not hand over a specification and wait. The same engineers who designed the modularity stay through integration and test.

  1. 01

    Scope

    Mission objectives, subsystem list, buses, schedule and the constraints that are actually fixed.

  2. 02

    Architect

    A modular architecture around MA61C: what plugs into what, and which interfaces disappear.

  3. 03

    Integrate

    Hardware and software integration, on the bench first, with EGSE and the Drag & Drop tool.

  4. 04

    Verify

    Assembly, integration and testing — the evidence a customer or an agency will ask for.

Where it applies

Every platform that has a bus.

CubeSats, SmallSats, re-entry capsules, technology demonstrators, constellations. The same architecture reasoning holds: abstract the interface, and the supplier stops mattering.

  • NewSpace manufacturersShorter schedules and a wider supplier base.
  • Institutions and agenciesInterfaces that survive a change of subcontractor.
  • UniversitiesA stack that can be taught, tested and iterated.

Next step

Start with an interface review.

Send us the subsystem list and the buses. We will map where MA61C sits, what it replaces, and what the integration plan looks like.
