AE1C Spacecraft

Demonstrate “standard model” of 6U satellite bus.

This mission utilizes the “standard model” of our 6U satellite bus system, which includes core functions of the satellite, built-in IoT communication capabilities, along with a customizable vertical mission section of over 3U.

The mission module of AE1c will carry components from the customer of our hosted payload service, with an in-orbit demonstration of the payload planned.

Following the AE1b, the second in-orbit operation of “standard model” will focus on data collection and operational refinement, paving the way for a stable and scalable rollout of our hosted payload service.

ArkEdge Space Demonstrates Satellite Short Messaging for Global IoT Connectivity ～Live demonstration validates energy-efficient, long-distance data transmission between compact IoT devices and ArkEdge’s micro-satellites. The demonstration used the AE-1c satellite.

For this mission, ArkEdge Space integrated PBR-10, a microscale water-vapor-based propulsion system developed by Pale Blue Inc. (“Pale Blue”) as a hosted payload onboard AE1c. The primary objectives of the mission were to acquire in-orbit operational data and verify the propulsion system’s functionality. ArkEdge Space led the full scope of the process—from the design and development of bus system, to mission system integration and operational support. Both the satellite and the propulsion system performed nominally, and the targeted operational outcomes were successfully achieved.
