About
Built for real hardware, real missions, and real deployment constraints.
DIY Satellite is an Argentine aerospace initiative focused on practical PocketQube engineering. The company works on mission architecture, hardware integration, deployer validation, and launch support for compact spacecraft programs.
The objective is clear: reduce the barriers to access space for universities, startups, laboratories, and experimental teams by combining compact spacecraft design with a mission-oriented engineering approach.
Who It's For
Different teams. Similar need: a realistic way to reach orbit.
Startups
Technology demonstration missions
Compact orbital missions for early hardware validation, subsystem testing, payload demonstration, and first-space products.
Labs & Technical Teams
Applied R&D and experimental work
A lower-barrier route for teams developing communications, sensing, embedded systems, or other compact space hardware.
Services
Technical support across the mission lifecycle.
Mission Design
PocketQube mission architecture, subsystem definition, payload accommodation, and mission scoping.
Integration & Testing
Assembly workflows, subsystem validation, interface review, and launch readiness preparation.
Launch Support
Deployer interface coordination, documentation support, and mission execution guidance.
Operations
Telemetry planning, communications workflows, and early-orbit operational support.
Applications
Use cases that fit compact orbital missions.
Technology Validation
Early-stage hardware demonstration, subsystem verification, and proof-of-concept missions.
Research Payloads
Compact scientific, sensing, or communications experiments that benefit from a real mission framework.
Education & Training
Hands-on space projects for aerospace, electronics, embedded systems, and communications programs.
Flight Heritage
DIY-1 is the proof behind the next commercial phase.
DIY-1 established real orbital heritage for DIY Satellite. That milestone now supports the next stage: the first commercial deployer flight with customer missions planned for mid-2026.
Flight heritage matters because it turns the message from concept into execution. For universities, startups, and technical teams, that reduces risk and increases confidence in the path to orbit.
