6U CubeSat bus optimised for Earth observation. High-precision ADCS: pointing knowledge <=0.01 deg, pointing accuracy <=0.1 deg. Payload power OAP 10 W. S-band TT&C at 128 kbps up / 512 kbps down; X-band payload downlink at 80 Mbps. Platform data storage 4 GB (min); payload data storage 128 GB. GPS included. Launched as EPICHyper-1/2/3 (Wyvern Dragonette-001/002/003, 2023) and VIREON-1/2 (2026). TRL 9 in flight.

AAC EPIC VIEW is AAC Clyde Space's Earth-observation-oriented 6U CubeSat platform for orbital missions.^[1] The platform is positioned around tighter pointing and higher payload-data throughput than the communications-focused EPIC LINK line: the product page lists pointing knowledge of <=0.01 deg, pointing accuracy of <=0.1 deg, GPS, 10 W payload orbit-average-power allocation, S-band TMTC at 128 kbps uplink and 512 kbps downlink, and X-band payload downlink at 80 Mbps.^[1]

The bus includes at least 4 GB platform storage and 128 GB payload storage, making it a hosted imaging platform rather than a sensor product itself.^[1] AAC ties the EPIC VIEW family to flight heritage through EPICHyper-1, and a community cross-check identifies EPICHyper 1, 2 and 3 with Dragonette 001, 002 and 003.^[2]^[3]
