Stop making all your satellites cube-shaped. In recent years, satellite manufacturers have created the most visually boring and lazy designs possible. With an increasing number of satellites being cuboid or cylindrical (including the "CubeSats"), Earth orbit has never been more boring. If you are making a satellite with a cuboid bus and solar panels slapped onto the sides, quit your job. Engineering is an art and you're painting like a kindergartener. ConkSat is committed to creating fun and visually interesting satellites, just as engineers have in the past (intentionally or otherwise). Our choice of concrete-casted satellite buses allows complete freedom of shape. We’re embracing brutalist architecture in all its forms. Stay tuned for our Klein bottle satellite, brought to you by our Topology Division.
Really ruins my day when I walk outside, look up at the satellites, and see the same antenna and solar panel layouts.
What do you have to offer beyond odd shapes?
You’re always oriented correctly if your solar panel is a mobius strip.
They’re invented for a reason: volume efficiency, launch vehicle compatibility and rapid dev.
