EPIC 12U
Our EPIC 12U platforms are our most capable spacecraft; able to accommodate larger payloads with more demanding needs for power, pointing and data delivery. This class of EPIC spacecraft is also available in 16U form factor.
EPIC 6U
Our EPIC 6U platforms provide an excellent option for increased payload volume without wildly increasing launch costs. What's more, they are flight proven and highly capable.
EPIC 3U
The 3U CubeSat is the most flown CubeSat form factor in history, and our EPIC 3U provides industry leading capability for a multitude of applications, including Internet of Things and Earth Observation.
EPIC 1U
The original CubeSat form factor proves that big applications can come in small packages. Our EPIC 1U platforms are perfect for tech demo and teaching, as well as many commercial and government applications.
