ISISPACE lists 12U and 12U XL platform configurations in its small satellite platform family for missions requiring larger payload volume.

The ISISPACE 12U CubeSat Platform covers the configurable 12U and 12UXL configurations of ISISPACE's CubeSat platform family. ISISPACE also offers engineering models for payload-interface and flight-software development.^[1]

The shared 12U(XL)-16U family specification gives 8-12U of payload volume and S-band telemetry, tracking and command (TT&C) at 9.6 kbps uplink and up to 0.5 Mbps downlink.^[1] Family options include Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C), Controller Area Network (CAN), Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), universal synchronous/asynchronous receiver-transmitter (USART) and universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) interfaces, storage of up to 64 GB and optional propulsion of up to 2000 Ns.^[1] Power provision is mission-dependent. The design lifetime is up to three years, upgradeable to five, and a software development kit (SDK) and integration support are available.^[1]

For the SPEQTRE mission, ISISPACE supplies the 12U platform and the QuadPack deployer; the mission allocates 4U to the platform and approximately 8U to the payload.^[2] ISISPACE performed the SPEQTRE satellite, payload and system integration and testing, and is responsible for early operations and commissioning.^[3]

GRITSS launched on 7 July 2026. For that mission ISISPACE designed, manufactured and integrated the 12UXL spacecraft and provided launch preparation, the QuadPack and launch integration.^[4]
