German Orbital Systems is a Berlin based company

which is specialized in miniaturized satellite

hardware. It has been established in 2014 by

former scientific staff of the Technical University

of Berlin. Our products are based on experience

from 10 successful satellite missions including

TUBSAT and BEESAT. The company provides

understandable solutions for educational

CubeSats, as well as sophisticated Microsatellite

Missions.

In close Cooperation with our partner company

ECM space technologies, we offer turnkey

solutions including ground, space and launch

segment.

We believe space technology does not have to be

complicated and expensive,

demystifying rocket science

is our mission.

HERITAGE

Our company is a spin-off from the TU Berlin.

Being one of the most renowned addresses in

Europe when it comes to satellite technology,

the TU Berlin has successfully launched 10

satellites. Following the design philosophy

and using the component base from these

projects allows us to provide reliable and

robust solutions for small satellites at a

market transforming price.

Our battery pack is a lightweight and cost-

saving solution for small satellites. It is fully

compatible with our CubeSat structures and

every small satellite using the PC-104

standard. It already has flight heritage from

multiple missions and has proven itself as a

reliable power supply during these missions.
