RF, Microwave & Digital Payloads for Satellites & Nanosats

Kratos designs and manufactures compact, reliable, and customizable payloads based on radio frequency (RF), microwave, and digital technologies for satellites. Our solutions support geostationary orbit (GEO), low-earth orbit (LEO), and medium-earth orbit (MEO) satellite missions, as well as nanosatellite missions, enabling functions such as communication, data handling, and telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C). Depending on mission requirements, Kratos integrates classic, radiation-hardened components as well as radiation-tolerant commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and automotive-grade parts—with verified radiation performance data. These payloads are optimized for high performance, flexibility, and efficient integration into space platforms.
