[ PAYLOAD DEVELOPMENT ]
Blackwing Space provides specifications, interface definitions, and reference materials to help teams design, build, and integrate payloads on Blackwing Space satellite platforms.
These resources are intended for startups, universities, researchers, and partners building flight-ready payloads for rapid deployment to orbit. This page will continue to expand over time as additional documentation, reference designs, and hardware modules become available.
Defines the payload interfaces for the Sparrow 1U platform.
We are actively developing simple reference payloads to help teams accelerate development and validate integration assumptions.
Planned examples include:
These references are intended to demonstrate integration patterns, not prescribe a specific design.
Over time, Blackwing Space may introduce optional hardware modules to provide baseline functionality for teams that do not want to design everything from scratch.
Potential modules include:
Availability will vary by platform and mission.
These tools are designed for teams building real hardware, including:
If you are unsure whether your payload is a fit for Sparrow, we encourage early conversations.
If you are building a payload or know someone who might benefit from building on a Blackwing Space platform, we would love to connect.
