Dcubed and EnduroSat Partner to Advance Serial Production of ESPA-Class FRAME Satellite
Dcubed GmbH has entered into a strategic partnership with EnduroSat, satellite infrastructure builder to support the serial production of company’s next-generation ESPA-class satellite platform, FRAME. Under the agreement, Dcubed will supply its flight-proven HDRMs for critical deployment functions on board the spacecraft.
As part of the partnership, Dcubed’s Micro Release Nuts (uD3RN) will be used to deploy the satellite’s solar array power subsystems in orbit—one of the most mission-critical phases of any spacecraft operation. The selection of Dcubed reflects its strong technical heritage, proven in-flight performance, and ability to meet demanding program constraints.
A key factor in reaching the agreement was Dcubed’s ability to commit to an aggressive delivery schedule within a highly constrained budget. This was made possible by the company’s serial production approach and robust, well-established supply chain. In addition to its technical credibility, Dcubed’s highly responsive and collaborative team played a decisive role in enabling the partnership to move forward quickly.
Viktor Danchev, CTO at Endurosat commented: “Dcubed’s flight-proven HDRMs are helping us bring down the cost of any space data and accelerate time to orbit with a secure supply chain.”
Markus Geiss, Chief Commercial Officer at Dcubed, added: “Dcubed is excited to work as a strategic partner with leading New Space companies like EnduroSat across the US and Europe. By leveraging our existing release mechanism and power subsystem technologies, we are helping enable the space infrastructure of the future.”
Looking ahead, Dcubed continues to innovate in the development of larger and more powerful release actuators, including the Milli Release Nut, which may be perfectly suitable for ESPA-class satellite platforms such as FRAME. In parallel, the company’s pioneering work on large, high-power ISM solar arrays—designed to be manufactured and deployed in orbit—further strengthens its position as a technology leader supporting the growing in-space economy.
