1 Subsystems & Payloads

2 Surrey Satellite Technology is the world s leading small satellite manufacturer We are pioneering space company Surrey Satellite Technology world leader in designing, manufacturing, and operating high-performance satellites. We have over 250 years of operational on-orbit experience gained through 47 satellites launched over the past 30 years delivering telecommunications, navigation, and remote sensing solutions to our customers. We pride ourselves on providing satellite missions from first concept through on-orbit operations. We specialize in adapting advanced terrestrial technologies and processes to the harsh environment of space, continually developing satellite technology and delivering high-performance, cost-effective solutions. Batch production provides competitive prices Fly the subsystems we fly!

3 Subsystems and payloads the Surrey difference We regularly fly our subsystems on our own and our customers satellites, providing many years of flight heritage and operational experience. We offer an extensive range of innovative, flight-proven subsystems designed to meet a diverse range of small satellite mission requirements and applications. Fly the subsystems we fly and benefit from unrivaled reliability and in-orbit operational success. We offer: Flight-proven subsystems and payloads based on our heritage designs Complete avionics suites composed of heritage subsystems Competitive prices through cross-project batch building Complete data handling, storage, and X-band downlink solution A range of reaction wheels for fine-pointing and rapid maneuvers DMC medium-resolution, multispectral imager 2.5 m GSD imager A range of GPS receivers to suit all budgets

4 Next generation We continue to develop next-generation technologies and manufacturing and test processes to reflect the changing needs of our customers for high-performance remote sensing, telecommunications, and navigation spacecraft. Hold down release mechanism Solar array drive mechanism Multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS receiver Reaction wheels, isolation, and soft mounts Fly the subsystems we fly!

5 Innovation Innovation is the driving force behind Surrey s impressive growth. We have strived to reduce the production cycle time for subassemblies and ultimately our spacecraft. Our use of terrestrial technologies and frequent in-orbit demonstrator missions enables us to fast-track space qualification of new product technologies. S-band transceiver card Innovative products Higher data rates Optical payloads, visible/nir/swir bands Electric propulsion systems Power systems Avionics stacks VHRI 100 imager Low-cost, sub-one-meter GSD SGR-ReSI Remote sensing instrument for ocean, land, cryospheric, and atmospheric applications Multi-frequency Multi-constellation Procyon star tracker

6 Missions flying Surrey subsystems and payloads Drawing on thirty years of mission experience and extensive flight heritage, Surrey has developed successful partnerships with space primes, space agencies, third-party missions, and commercial customers through the provision of the following services: Subsystem and payload requirements analysis Trade-off studies, performance analysis Surrey customization service Tailored solutions Spacecraft composite structure design and analysis Consulting Product Supplied to Quantity GPS receivers NigeriaSat-1, TOPSAT, DMC-4, CFESat, GIOVE-A, RapidEye (x5), Deimos-1, UK-DMC2, NigeriaSat-2, NigeriaSat-X, Sapphire, exactview-1, KazEOSat-2, NSPO 1 Orbital (DART) 3 AeroAstro (STPSAT, SIP/SIV) 2 ISRO 5 21 Product Supplied to Quantity Star trackers Propulsion systems BILSAT-1, DMC-4, CFESat, RapidEye (x5), KazEOSat-2, Undisclosed customer 6 NigeriaSat-1, TOPSAT, DMC-4, GIOVE-A, RapidEye (x5), Deimos-1, UK-DMC2, NigeriaSat-2, NigeriaSat-X, exactview-1, KazEOSat-2, ESA (Proba-2) ATK (TACSAT-3) 2 USAFA (FalconSat-5) 1 X-band downlink DMC-4, RapidEye (x5), NigeriaSat-2, UK-DMC2,, KazEOSat-2 14 SpaceHab 1 CONAE (SAC-C) 3 ESA (Proba-1) 1 Undisclosed customer 4 VNIIEM (Kanopus 1,2,3) 3 MSI (ORBCOMM Generation 2) 19 Ball Aerospace (ORS, STPSAT-3, STPSAT-4) 3 TAI (Gokturk-2) 4 Power systems NigeriaSat-1, TOPSAT, DMC-4, CFESat, GIOVE-A, RapidEye (x5), Deimos-1, UK-DMC2, NigeriaSat-2, NigeriaSat-X, Sapphire, exactview-1, KazEOSat-2, 21 NASA (Firefly) 1 USAFA (FalconSat-2) 2 Alenia (Agile) 3 VNIIEM (Kanopus 1,2,3) 3 Reaction wheels SRRL 1 SpaceDev 4 Southwest Research Institute 1 Undisclosed customer 6 NigeriaSat-1, TOPSAT, DMC-4, CFESat, GIOVE-A, RapidEye (x5), Deimos-1, UK-DMC2, NigeriaSat-2, NigeriaSat-X, Sapphire, exactview-1, KazEOSat-2, USAFA (FalconSat-3) 1 DLR (Philae) VNIIEM (Kanopus 1,2,3) 24 Antenna pointing mechanisms Data recorders CSIRO (Fedsat) 1 QinetiQ (STRV-1 a,b,c,d) 4 Suparco (BADR-B) 1 ESA (Proba-1) 1 NigeriaSat-2,, KazEOSat-2 NigeriaSat-1, TOPSAT, DMC-4, CFESat, Deimos-1, UK-DMC2, NigeriaSat-2, NigeriaSat-X, Sapphire, exactview-1, KazEOSat-2, 5 30 Undisclosed customer 22 COM DEV (M3M, PAZ, ASRP) 6 Fly the subsystems we fly!
