Micro BEETLE
Early-stage development direction for ultra-lightweight two-axis payload pointing where mass, power and integration volume are the primary constraints. Targeting applications below 400 g system mass.
Where Mass Is Everything
Micro BEETLE is an early-stage development direction, not a finished product. It is intended for customers operating micro-balloon platforms, lightweight imaging payloads and experimental HAPS systems where total pointing system mass below 400 g is the central constraint.
The 28 V supply concept and single-digit watt power target are early development parameters that will be refined with the platform owner. Micro BEETLE is developed as a co-design exercise — the final architecture depends on the specific payload, platform and integration requirements.
Suitable for educational missions, research demonstrations, compact imaging payloads and customers willing to co-develop an ultra-lightweight pointing system.
STATUS: Micro BEETLE is an early concept and first development direction — not a validated, serial or catalog product. All parameters are development targets subject to change. Co-development approach required.
