User-friendly scalability from 3U to 12U and beyond

Pumpkin is delivering deliver a Pumpkin SUPERNOVA bus stack to a customer, in the form of a stack of modules that fits inside a 3U CubeSat. Additionally, the customer has the same stack inside a Rackmount SUPERNOVA Satellite Simulator (RS3).

Both stacks run the same Pumpkin flight software, simulate a variety of Pumpkin flight modules, include a real GPSRM1 GNSS receiver module, and provide SUPERNOVA-class payload connectivity via serial and Ethernet connections. The consistency of the SUPERNOVA architecture and the friendliness of its open flight software architecture promote rapid spacecraft development and payload integration.
