Problem solved
As your in-house satellite development team Exobotics’ aim to develop your solution with you, not around you. The XO-BUS range has been developed to solve customer problems, including:
Slow, expensive, tedious on-boarding, project life cycles and endless delays.
Little to no flexibility during project life cycle e.g. requirements shifts.
Poorly defined sub-systems and compatibilities causing ‘surprises’ at integration.
Lack of access to flat-sats with ground station emulation for true end to end testing.
Lack of user documentation for design, integration and operation.
Confusion on ground station compatibility.
No flexible payment terms to match business needs.
