Hardware & Mission OS

KidaSat Mission Lab

A real reaction-wheel CubeSat trainer for schools and universities. Operate live ADCS hardware with a local ground-station dashboard that works offline; first-year Mission OS included for cloud missions, accounts, and institutional reporting.

Pilot-ready

Why KidaSat Mission Lab

Real ADCS hardware

One-axis reaction-wheel attitude control with IMU telemetry, battery/EPS monitoring, and supervised command gating. Teaching-grade engineering trainer, not a toy demo.

Works offline

The local ground-station dashboard runs in the browser via USB serial or the optional Windows local bridge. Live telemetry and commands do not require internet; cloud sync is for session summaries, missions, and reports.

Mission OS included in year one

Every hardware pack includes the first year of Mission OS: organization accounts, cloud missions, student certificates, analytics, institutional reports, and product updates.

Institutional deployment packs

From a single-lab pilot to full school and university lab rollouts, with teacher onboarding, curriculum alignment, and competition-ready workflows.

Honest safety boundaries

Supervised, local-first operation in classrooms and labs. Teaching-grade ADCS trainer — not flight hardware, not public remote control over the internet.

Launch pricing — institutional packages

What is Mission OS?

Mission OS is CubeSTEM's cloud subscription layer for KidaSat institutions. It is included for the first year with every hardware pack.

  • Organization and team accounts
  • Cloud-hosted mission scenarios and session management
  • Student completion certificates
  • Analytics and institutional reporting
  • Product updates and mission content refreshes

After year one, institutions renew Mission OS annually to keep cloud missions, accounts, certificates, analytics, reports, and updates active. The local ground-station dashboard continues to work for supervised hardware operation; cloud features require an active Mission OS license.

Mission OS is not the Mission Twin simulator on cubestem.com/digital-twin — that is a separate software-only product line.

How to buy

  1. Step 1

    Request quote or institutional pilot

    Contact CubeSTEM with your institution type, lab size, and target rollout timeline.

  2. Step 2

    Choose your pack

    Select ADCS Core, School Mission Pack, or University / Space Lab Pack based on kit count and training needs.

  3. Step 3

    First-year Mission OS activated

    Every hardware pack includes the first year of Mission OS — cloud missions, accounts, certificates, analytics, and reports.

  4. Step 4

    Install local bridge and start missions

    Set up the local ground-station dashboard and optional Windows bridge, then run supervised classroom ADCS missions.

Why institutions choose KidaSat

  • Real reaction-wheel attitude control — not simulator-only
  • Live telemetry and PID tuning in the Mission Console
  • Local dashboard works with hardware offline; cloud Mission OS adds classroom accounts, missions, certificates, and analytics
  • Supervised local-first operation with honest safety boundaries
  • ESP32-CAM not included in current baseline — deferred to Phase 2

Frequently asked questions

Does it work without internet?

Yes. Live hardware operation uses a local ground-station dashboard in the browser (USB serial or optional Windows local bridge). Telemetry and commands run on the classroom or lab machine without internet. Mission OS cloud features — missions, accounts, certificates, analytics, and reports — require connectivity and an active license.

What is Mission OS?

Mission OS is CubeSTEM's annual cloud subscription for KidaSat institutions. It adds organization accounts, cloud mission scenarios, student certificates, analytics, institutional reports, and product updates. The first year is included with every hardware pack; annual renewal keeps cloud features active after year one.

Is the camera included?

No. ESP32-CAM is deferred and not part of the current product baseline. It was removed from the baseline during bring-up due to stability and RF noise concerns. The current KidaSat trainer focuses on reaction-wheel ADCS, IMU telemetry, power/EPS monitoring, and supervised local operation. Camera integration is planned for a future phase.

Who is it for?

KidaSat Mission Lab is designed for schools, universities, STEM competition teams, and institutional space-education programs that want real reaction-wheel ADCS training — not simulator-only or toy-kit experiences. Teachers and lab facilitators supervise all hardware sessions.

What is included in the first year?

Every hardware pack includes KidaSat reaction-wheel ADCS trainer hardware (tier-dependent kit count), local ground-station dashboard (offline-capable), supervised command workflow and safety gating, optional Windows local bridge for robust serial and cloud upload, and first-year Mission OS (cloud missions, accounts, certificates, analytics, reports, and updates). Mission OS renewal pricing applies from year two onward.

Separate product: Mission Twin simulator

KidaSat Mission Lab is real reaction-wheel hardware with a local ground station. The Mission Twin simulator on the digital-twin page is a software-only line for simulator runs, replay, and scoring — not a substitute for KidaSat hardware training.
