The Cassini mission consists of three 6UXL satellites—Cassini-A, Cassini-B, and Cassini-C—supporting In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) and In-Orbit Validation (IOV) experiments selected by the European Commission. Designed, built, and tested by ISISPACE, these satellites will be launched in early 2026 with ISAR Aerospace, providing essential power, data, and communication interfaces for successful payload operations.

The Cassini mission, led by ESA, will test new space technologies using three 6UXL satellites. Each satellite hosts multiple experiments from leading European organizations, enabling key advancements in satellite technology, propulsion, and communication. Equipped with deployable solar panels, UHF/VHF communications, and S-band downlink for payload data, the satellites ensure optimal power and data transfer for onboard experiments. With an initial one-year mission lifetime and a potential extension, the Cassini mission plays a crucial role in Europe’s space innovation efforts.
