Design_Net Engineering is working with a customer base of over 50 commercial and university class payloads, and rideshare launch opportunities. With the right hardware, the right integration flow, and for the appropriate price point, a business can indeed be developed around this principle. We are bringing primary customers and LV providers into the process early, and developing fixed and affordable cost points, with regular flight opportunities, our SPSU was developed based on customer needs. A number of Launch Vehicles and payload customers have already expressed interest in the SPSU with video. These include ULA, SpaceX, ORS, NRO, and NASA Ames.
NASA centers have different needs for rideshare launch. These include P-POD class missions for education and technology; biological missions and even potential Lunar missions. SPSU allows NASA better use of the Launch Vehicle inventory and efficient use of lift mass. Video capability is critical in risk management of deployments and builds confidence in the secondary rideshare solution. Use of SPSU with video monitoring provides NASA a near term solution, already accepted by the launch vehicle community, which provides robust and standard services for the secondaries.
