InSpace Rideshare
Following the success of Faraday-1 Phoenix, In-Space Missions has developed the InSpace Rideshare Service (formally known as the Faraday Service). With this service customers can access the performance of a small satellite and deliver their payloads to orbit at a fraction of the cost of traditional flight services – including dedicated Cubesat missions. InSpace Rideshare includes a full range of technical and regulatory services which enable customers to focus on payload development and service design. It is particularly suitable for:
- Precursor missions
- Early service roll-out
- Service and technology demonstration missions
- Flight qualification of new technology
InSpace Dedicated
InSpace Dedicated is a 100kg+ small satellite platform offering flexible payload accommodation up to 60kg.
The platform design includes a TByte of data storage and variety of payload data interfaces which can be scaled to accommodate multiple payloads. The mission can be augmented with an on-orbit processing solution along with a GEO ISL to support low latency applications.
Suitable for a range of payloads including:
- Earth observation
- ISR and SSA/SDA
- RF sensing and communications

ABOUT US
In-Space Missions, a wholly owned subsidiary of BAE Systems Ltd, are world class experts who design, build and operate physical and digital space missions for global customers from our site in the UK. We design manufacture, integrate and test a range of satellites from cubesats up to 200kg small satellites, providing full end-to-end capabilities customers including payload development support; integration of payloads into the spacecraft; system testing; licensing; launch; commissioning; on-orbit operations; secure data delivery; and everything in-between. We also offer ‘Space as a Service’ through our InSpace Rideshare and InSpace Digital services. Our goal is to achieve a new and more sustainable use of space by an infrastructure in low Earth orbit that can be reprogrammed and upgraded to carry out multiple missions – a constellation of automated miniature “Space Stations”.
