Andrews Space is a small responsive integrator developing enabling systems for the emerging commercial space industry. Andrews is developing the Spaceflight Secondary Payload System (SSPS), a secondary payload system and the SHERPA in-space tug for Spaceflight Inc. In addition Andrews has a range of spacecraft and launch system development efforts including microsatellites such as SCOUT and the Small Agile Tactical Spacecraft for the US Army SMDC, and the Reusable Booster System Pathfinder vehicle for the USAF.
Our Systems
SCOUT
The emergence of high performance and low cost spacecraft components, driven primarily by the maturing CubeSat industry, has enabled a new class of small satellites that provide high performance at a low cost.
SCOUT is a visible imaging microsatellite capable of 1.0 meter visible imagery at nadir, alternate Earth imaging payloads are available based on customer needs. SCOUT is based on the Andrews SENTRY 4000 satellite bus. The spacecraft has a nominal cross section of 40 x 46 cm and, in the stowed launch configuration, is 84 cm in length. At approximately 50-55 kg wet mass depending on customer configuration, it can be launched in both a horizontal and vertical orientation as a secondary payload on a variety of launch vehicle platforms.
Standard pricing starts at $5,000,000
Production discounts available. Customization options extra.
