YTTEK SDRspace is a compact yet powerful satellite communication payload, purpose-built for CubeSats and other space-constrained satellites. Despite its small form factor, it delivers exceptional performance—with up to 5 W transmit power and a 720 Mbps transmit data rate, plus a 160 Mbps receive data rate—enabling long-range, high-speed communication for data-intensive applications. Its software-defined radio architecture offers maximum flexibility to adapt to diverse mission requirements.
High output power ensures excellent signal quality and optimal throughput, while reducing the complexity and sensitivity requirements of ground stations or user terminals (UT). It enables reliable reception even at lower elevation angles, translating into longer transmission distances and broader coverage.
With a maximum data rate of 720 Mbps, SDRspace enables not only the transmission of satellite data and Earth observation imagery, but also supports real-time calls, video conferencing, and live video streaming—bringing high-bandwidth, interactive connectivity to orbit.
In space-constrained satellite environments, every cubic centimeter counts. With a form factor under 1U, SDRspace integrates effortlessly into CubeSat architectures—freeing up valuable space for additional payloads or enabling smaller, lighter satellites to reduce overall launch costs.
Built on a software-defined radio foundation, SDRspace offers exceptional flexibility—enabling users to meet diverse mission requirements through reconfigurable RF parameters.
