Space is still custom built – Most satellites today are expensive, bespoke systems designed from scratch for each mission. This traditional model is slow, costly, and inaccessible to smaller institutions and startups. TetraCubics reimagines this approach by introducing a standardized, modular satellite platform—applying Henry Ford’s philosophy of mass production to aerospace. Our “plug-and-play” CubeSats allow any configuration or size, making space technology accessible, adaptable, and affordable.

Born for Orbit, Built for Earth – Our technology stems from a foundation in aerospace engineering, with the first prototypes focusing on highly modular CubeSats. These designs are not only scalable—easily transitioning from small to larger satellite classes—but are also dual-purpose. The same modular systems can be repurposed for terrestrial applications, such as military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and industrial inspection, without needing to redesign the platform from scratch.

Kiruna, Sweden – The three founders met in 2023 in snowy Norrbotten, located within the Arctic Circle. There, they worked on a project initiated by Pavlos a year earlier, aiming to prove that modular satellites were feasible not just in theory, but in practice. These 10 cm-sided CubeSats were developed by a larger team in a laboratory, eventually yielding a set of four satellites that successfully demonstrated the revolutionary idea of applying modular design to space technology.

Milan, Italy – Following the validated results of their modular satellites in lab conditions, members of the team flew to the International Astronautical Congress held in Milan in autumn 2024. There, they presented their findings and published a research paper—both of which were well received.
