6U (and 8U variant) CubeSat bus optimised for communications payloads. Pointing knowledge <=0.5 deg, pointing accuracy <=0.5 deg. Payload power OAP 10 W. S-band TT&C and payload data: 128 kbps up / 512 kbps down. Data storage 4 GB. Low-noise bus design, de-orbit compliant. Optional Xiphos SDR integration. In-orbit heritage: Ymir-1 (VDES demonstrator), LusoSpace constellation (8U variant, 11 satellites planned late 2025).

AAC EPIC LINK is AAC Clyde Space's communications-oriented EPIC CubeSat platform, presented for orbital missions in 6U and 8U variants.^[1] The product page identifies AAC Clyde Space as manufacturer and positions the bus for communications payloads, with a 10 W payload orbit-average-power allocation, S-band TT&C and payload data links at 128 kbps uplink and 512 kbps downlink, and 4 GB onboard data storage.^[1]

AAC material as of 2026-05-25 presents the 8U variant in LusoSpace programme context; that deployment context should be treated as operator-described programme material rather than independently established mission heritage in the available tier-1 and tier-2 record.^[1]^[2] AAC's 2024 annual report provides additional company-level context for the platform line and its mission pipeline.^[3]
