While the high cost of launch remains an obstacle to space access, particularly for small satellites, clever integration of multiple systems enables launching thirty or more satellites on one vehicle. Launch providers, like ISC Kosmotras, can maximize their launch capacity by “filling in the gaps” with small satellites. It benefits launch providers to use 100% of their vehicles' capacity - otherwise, any leftover fuel has made an expensive trip into space for no reason. Spaceflight assists launch vehicle providers by purchasing excess space and leveraging proven technologies to maximize the number of satellites deployed. With new technologies from Innovative Solutions in Space (ISIS) and the design power of Andrews Space, Spaceflight has developed the capacity to launch thirty-five (35) 12U CubeSats into space using one ESPA Grande-derived Spacecraft.
