Operational Transparency & Space‑Grade Bookkeeping
Behind every NanoCube Space mission is a backend built like an aerospace supplier, not a hobby project. Our bookkeeping and accounting are structured around a CubeSat‑focused Chart of Accounts, including supplier sourcing and Bill‑of‑Materials (BOM) management for every satellite hardware component we ship or integrate.
CubeSat‑Focused Chart of Accounts
Mission costs are broken down by structure, power, OBC, comms, ADCS, payload, testing, and launch services. Each line item is mapped to a dedicated CubeSat account code for audit‑ready traceability.
Supplier‑Linked BOMs
Every frame, PCB, radio, solar panel, harness, and fastener is tracked in a structured BOM with vendor, part number, lead time, and cost captured in our accounting system.
Space‑Grade Supplier Sourcing
We maintain a curated list of aerospace‑grade suppliers and COTS vendors, so your mission hardware is sourced from known, repeatable, and documented channels.
Clean Mission Financials
Hardware, integration labor, regulatory work, and launch brokerage are separated in our books, giving universities and startups clear documentation for grants, audits, and internal reviews.

For CubeSat Developers: OBC, Flight Software & FreeRTOS
NanoCube Space provides a complete, developer‑friendly flight‑software stack built on industry‑standard tools. Teams do not need to write their own spacecraft operating system — we deliver a fully integrated STM32 + FreeRTOS mission architecture.
STM32‑Based On‑Board Computer (OBC)
Every mission includes a modern ARM‑based STM32 flight computer with aerospace‑grade reliability, deterministic timing, and robust peripheral support for radios, sensors, memory, and payloads.
FreeRTOS Mission Framework
All mission logic runs on FreeRTOS, enabling predictable task scheduling, subsystem isolation, watchdog protection, and clean modular design for payloads and experiments.
Vendor SDK + HAL Integration
We integrate the manufacturer’s SDK and HAL, including radio drivers, EPS interfaces, sensor drivers, flash memory access, and bootloader support — so developers don’t need to handle low‑level hardware.
Complete Flight‑Software Stack
Our standardized mission framework includes the command & telemetry system, mission state machine, beaconing, payload control, deployment logic, error handling, and ground‑station compatibility (GNU Radio, GPredict, SDRSharp).
What CubeSat Teams Can Write (Optional)
Advanced teams may extend the mission by adding:
- Custom payload logic
- Additional telemetry channels
- New command handlers
- Experiment automation
- Research‑specific algorithms
- Data‑processing or compression modules
What CubeSat Teams Do Not Need to Write
NanoCube Space handles all spacecraft‑critical software internally, including:
- OBC drivers
- HAL code
- Radio interface
- EPS / power system interface
- Bootloader logic
- Safe‑mode behavior
- Watchdog system
- Telemetry framing & packet formats
- Command parsing & validation
- Mission state machine
Your satellite arrives fully operational, with all core flight software integrated and tested. Teams may extend the mission — but never need to build the spacecraft OS from scratch.
Integrated SatNOGS Ground‑Station Workflow
NanoCube Space supports full integration with the SatNOGS global ground‑station network as part of our end‑to‑end CubeSat mission operations workflow. SatNOGS provides automated pass scheduling, RF reception, and data forwarding through a distributed network of community and institutional ground stations.
Our flight‑software architecture is designed to be SatNOGS‑compatible out of the box, using standardized beacon formats, Doppler‑corrected frequency planning, and GNU Radio decoding blocks that align with SatNOGS pipelines. This enables:
- Automated beacon reception across the SatNOGS global network
- Standardized downlink frames compatible with SatNOGS decoders
- Automated pass scheduling and observation requests
- Forwarding of received frames to mission control for analysis
- Integration with GPredict for Doppler‑corrected uplink planning
- Cross‑compatibility with GNU Radio and SDRSharp for local operations
This workflow mirrors how professional CubeSat teams operate: SatNOGS handles global reception coverage, while NanoCube Space provides the mission‑control software, decoding tools, and flight‑software compatibility required for seamless operations from launch to deorbit.
Hardware Integration Workflow
NanoCube Space specializes in CubeSat hardware integration — assembling, configuring, and validating complete spacecraft hardware stacks for universities, startups, and research teams. We deliver a fully integrated satellite platform ready for launch provider acceptance.
1. Component Sourcing
We procure flight‑ready components from trusted suppliers including Gran Systems, Orion Space, CubeSatAero, EnduroSat, CubeSatShop, u‑blox, Swissbit, and others. All parts are tracked through a structured BOM with vendor, lead time, and documentation.
2. Mechanical Integration
Structures, frames, rails, and deployer‑compatible interfaces are assembled using aerospace‑grade fasteners and mounting hardware. Fit checks ensure compliance with CubeSat standards.
