Applications
- 14.5.1 Government Hosted Payloads — Flying sovereign government instruments — sensors, comms, or experimental packages — aboard commercial or allied host satellites to reach orbit faster and cheaper than a dedicated mission.
- 14.5.2 Hosted Climate Sensors — Flying sovereign climate instruments as hosted payloads on commercial or government buses to build an independent, nationally owned Earth observation record.
- 14.5.3 Commercial Hosted Comms — Embedding a sovereign narrowband or broadband communications payload on a commercially procured host satellite to accelerate on-orbit service without building a dedicated bus.
- 14.5.4 Demonstration Payload Slots — Reserving dedicated slots on host satellites to fly experimental national payloads, cutting the cost and timeline of technology-readiness advancement from ground to orbit.
- 14.5.5 Multi-Tenant Bus Programmes — Procuring or establishing a standardised satellite bus platform that multiple government agencies or commercial operators share simultaneously, reducing per-mission cost and accelerating national launch cadence.
