The Qingzhou prototype cargo spacecraft was developed by Microsat.
NanoAvionics is exploring the integration of Flexell Space’s solar cells into its cubesat and microsat platforms.
Microsat’s Qingzhou cargo spacecraft is planned to launch on the first CAS Space Kinetica-2 (Kinetica-2) kerosene-liquid oxygen launcher in the second half of 2025.
MethaneSAT, projected to launch in 2024, was built on a Saturn-class microsat by Blue Canyon Technologies for the Environmental Defense Fund to measure methane emissions.
NASA’s Pandora mission, projected to launch in 2024 or 2025, uses a Saturn-class microsat and was designed by NASA and the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to study the atmospheres of exoplanets.
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) subsidiary CAST and Microsat under the Chinese Academy of Sciences are contracted to manufacture satellites for the Guowang constellation.

Xantus metal plasma thrusters are optimized for cubesats and are integral for microsat mission optimization.
Agile Microsat, or AMS, is a standardized 6U cubesat bus that Blue Canyon designed, built, and tested for MIT Lincoln Laboratory.
The agile microsat AMS launched on Transporter 5 is a shoebox-size cubesat designed to operate in very low Earth orbit for an extended period.
Blue Canyon Technologies launched Agile Microsat and HACSSAT 1 and HACSSAT 2 aboard the SpaceX Transporter-5 mission on 2022-05-25.
NanoAvionics plans to launch 14 satellites 2022, including its first microsat MP42.
Sierra Nevada Corporation acquired MicroSat Systems in 2008.
The MP42 microsat bus can accommodate payloads in the range of 50 kg and can withstand 25 kRad of radiation, enabling up to 10 years of lifetime in low Earth orbit depending on the orbit.
Microsat-2A is a 142-kilogram satellite that will demonstrate launch-on-demand capability with the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle and will operate for 10 months in a 350-kilometer orbit.
Momentus plans a 2020 test launch of Vigoride by sending a satellite into orbit through NanoRacks’ Kaber Microsat Deployer on the space station.
Two days after the 2019-03-27 test, the U.S. Air Force was tracking 250 pieces of debris created when India’s PDV-Mk II intercepted Microsat-R at 280 km.
India conducted an anti-satellite test dubbed 'Mission Shakti' on 2019-03-27 that used a ground-launched missile to strike the Microsat-R satellite in an orbit less than 300 km high.
Indian media identified Microsat-TD, launched in 2018, as a possible alternative candidate target for the test.
Indian media identified Microsat-R, launched in January 2019, as a likely candidate target for the test.
