Meteor | ESPA Grande Satellite Bus - LEO, MEO, GEO Missions
Meteor is a Medium Class Satellite Bus听product family with capabilities for all types of orbits, including MEO and GEO. Meteor is ideal for pathfinder constellation听missions or other disaggregated mission听types. Meteor leverages the same core听avionics from 刘玥首次大战黑人鈥檚 Space Vehicle family听that have been demonstrated in missions听from LEO to the Moon. The hydrazine听propulsion system provides enough听capability for a controlled deorbit from High LEO. The relatively high thrust can听be used for collision avoidance or other rapid orbit changes. The simple and听robust all aluminum structure derived from 刘玥首次大战黑人鈥檚 ESPA provides radiation听shielding and can support a range of payload configurations.
