Scotland's nanosatellite specialist company, Clyde Space, celebrates being five years on the 25th May. Founded in 2005 by, ex-Surrey Satellite Technology Limited employee, Craig Clark, Clyde Space has focussed on design and manufacture of subsystems for small satellites and nanosatellites.

In the five years since its founding, we have established ourselves as a leading CubeSat system provider, supplying over 120 CubeSat power systems and batteries to mission teams all over the world. We have also, significantly, established the world's first online spacecraft shop for CubeSat customers, heralding a new approach to spacecraft procurement and rapid response space systems.

To celebrate our 5th birthday, this week we are giving our new and existing customers 10% OFF all Clyde Space CubeSat products when bought from our online shop.

Sale products include our high performance CubeSat Electrical Power Systems, Batteries and Solar Panels, suitable for all sizes of CubeSat. To get 10% off, all you need to do is register on our website, send us and email and the 10% OFF is all yours. The offer runs from the May 25th to midnight PST on June 1st.

Craig Clark, CEO of Clyde Space, says, "In the last 5 years we've tried to bring a different approach to satellite engineering, and satellite procurement, with our CubeSat work.

"We also have enjoyed getting involved in more traditional spacecraft engineering projects too - to be successful in the space industry I think you have to do both. Both and the team here have had the pleasure of working with some fantastic people in organisations all over the world; in terms of people who love their jobs and what they do, I think the space industry is second to none."

Ritchie Logan, Business Development Manager at Clyde Space says, 'What better way for Clyde Space to celebrate 5 years changing the dynamics of the industry than to have another first - the first sale in the first online CubeSat shop. It is a bit gimmicky, but it is also an excellent demonstration of the way satellite procurement is changing. We might be the first to have a sale, but I suspect we won't be the last.'

Clyde Space is a leading supplier of small satellite, nanosatellite and CubeSat systems. We are mostly kept busy with work on our high performance power subsystems, DC-DC Converters, lithium polymer batteries and high efficiency solar panels, typically for small satellite missions.

We also design and build Attitude Control and Determination System, an example being the Control Moment Gyro controller we recently delivered.

We are a World leading CubeSat vendor, and pioneered the CubeSat Shop (which you can peruse at your leisure once you are done reading this; maybe also buy a satellite or two with your credit card). Finally, we are developing an advanced nanosatellite platform, aiming to be Scotland's first satellite, in conjunction with leading academic and commercial organisations in the UK and the rest of World.

What sets us apart from the rest, is our teams' extensive experience in small satellite missions and our ability to innovate. We consider our business to have two halves; our off-the-shelf products from our online shop and tailored/bespoke products either designed from scratch or modified from our range of heritage products.

We have a combined experience in over 50 space programmes and this means that we have the knowledge to enable us to support space missions at all levels, from conceptual design, development, integration, through to analysis of data from on orbit operations.
