What Ibeos does

Ibeos is a privately held U.S. space electronics company founded in 2013 (originally as Cubic Aerospace) and headquartered in Sterling, Virginia, with a state-of-the-art manufacturing and testing facility that includes thermal vacuum chambers, thermal cycling chambers, and burn-in fixtures for flight article production. The company designs and manufactures radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant spacecraft electronics across three product lines: power distribution (Modular Power Systems MPS-500 to MPS-2000, 14V/150W and 28V/200W CubeSat/SmallSat EPS units, and the GaN-based MPC-500 scalable up to tens of kilowatts), batteries (28V and 50V modular lithium-ion solutions ranging from 135Whr to 1.237kWhr, plus 14V SmallSat modules), and computing (EDGE-1100 AMD Ryzen-based payload processor exceeding 1 TFLOPS, CORE-250 radiation-hardened 8-core RISC-V SBC with 250+ GFLOPS FP16, and the Genie flight computer). Multiple core products are TRL 9 certified and operating on orbit.

Ibeos sells exclusively to government and commercial space customers — including NASA, the Department of Defense, defense and aerospace prime contractors, satellite manufacturers, and major defense electronics suppliers — across national security, civil, and commercial space segments, with a focus on CubeSat/SmallSat and proliferated constellation missions. Revenue is generated through direct quote-based sales of standard products and project-based custom engineering and manufacturing services for unique mission requirements, supported by enterprise field sales, direct customer engagement, and event-driven marketing at conferences such as SATELLITE 2023, Cubesat Developer's Workshop, and Aerospace Corporation's Space Power Workshop. As of March 9, 2026, Ibeos operates as a subsidiary of Trident Solutions (a portfolio company of ATL Partners) within Trident's Space Electronic Systems division.

Revenue model

1. Standard Space Electronics Products: Sale of standard space-qualified power systems, flight computers, batteries, and processing units to government and commercial space customers. Products include Modular Power Systems, EPS units, battery modules, EDGE processors, and flight computers. Revenue is one-time hardware sales with potential for replacement/expansion orders.
2. Custom Solutions and Engineering Services: Custom spacecraft electronics design, subsystem evaluation, and mission-specific customization services. Includes new product design (turnkey or subset), subsystem/mission design and analysis, and existing product customization. Revenue generated through project-based engineering engagements.
3. Custom Product Manufacturing: Manufacturing of custom-designed electronics solutions for unique mission requirements, potentially including clean-sheet electronics designs and spacecraft subsystem evaluations with full lifecycle support from requirements through production.

Core offering

Ibeos designs, manufactures, and sells radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant spacecraft electronics, including modular power systems (500-2,000W), electrical power subsystems for CubeSats/SmallSats, modular lithium-ion batteries (28V and 50V), and high-throughput space computing platforms (EDGE-1100 payload processor, Genie flight computer, CORE-250 SBC) for missions spanning LEO to cislunar. The company also provides custom electronics design, subsystem evaluation, and mission-specific engineering services for unique spacecraft requirements.

Product overview

Ibeos provides space-qualified avionics and electronics for spacecraft operating from low Earth orbit to cislunar and beyond. The product portfolio consists of three main categories: Power Distribution (including the Modular Power System MPS-500 to MPS-2000, and CubeSat/SmallSat EPS products), Batteries (28V and 50V modular batteries, 135Whr and 45/90Whr SmallSat batteries), and Computing (EDGE-1100 Payload Processor, Genie Flight Computer, and CORE-250 Single Board Computer). Products are available in standard configurations and custom solutions. All products feature radiation tolerance/hardening and are designed for small satellite applications at Cubesat costs with mission-grade reliability.
