GK AND ISL TEAM UP FOR CUBESAT LAUNCHES. STILL HAVE SLOTS AVAILABLE!
GK Launch Services (“GK”) and Innovative Space Logistics (“ISL”) have teamed up for launching CubeSats on GK’s first commercial SSO mission from Q2 2020 that will fly from Baikonur Cosmodrome. The objective of this joint service is to address the need of the current CubeSat market for reliable launch solutions at a highly cost-effective pricepoint, supported by a team with unique experience.
To achieve this goal, the companies have signed an agreement for the installation of eight 12U sized Quadpack deployers, to be integrated by and through ISL. The QuadPack deployers, designed and developed by ISL’s affiliate ISIS – Innovative Solutions In Space, are known worldwide to have successfully flown on dozens of missions by a variety of launchers including Soyuz-2 that is distinguished by its high reliability and still remains the only launcher that carries humans to the ISS.
Rideshare launches represent one of the most rapidly growing markets and Soyuz-2 LV augmented with Fregat Upper Stage is ideally suited for such missions. Within one mission, Fregat can make up to 3 orbits and provide precise orbital injection for any type of spacecraft, making it uniquely positioned to service customers with varying orbit altitude needs on a single launch.
By jointly servicing the excess capacity for CubeSats on Soyuz launches, ISL and GK can optimize launch service details, schedules and logistics, to ultimately bring more value to our customers with respect to the overall mission management. Having joined forces as exclusive launch partners for these Soyuz launches, customers can contact either ISL or GK for inquiries.
SPECIAL PRICING. LIMITED OFFER!
To inaugurate the joint services between GK and ISL, special reduced prices for launching CubeSats on board of the first commercial SSO mission are offered, as was announced by GK at the recent Utah SmallSat conference. This unique opportunity for reduced Cubesat launch prices is available on a first come first served basis.
