MAVERICK SPACE SYSTEMS, INC.

Maverick Space Systems, Inc. specializes in the design, integration, and regulatory support of advanced space systems and auxiliary equipment for small satellite missions, with a demonstrated focus on ionospheric and space weather instrumentation. The company provides technical consulting and compliance services for satellite payloads, particularly in the context of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulatory frameworks, ensuring mission-critical systems like the Ionospheric Neutron Content Analyzer (INCA) Cubesat meet stringent orbital and spectrum allocation requirements. Their expertise lies in space vehicle subsystem integration, electromagnetic compatibility, and mission-specific regulatory navigation, positioning them as a niche provider for scientific and experimental space payloads requiring precise technical and bureaucratic coordination. The contractor’s primary agency engagement is with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, where they support scientific satellite missions by bridging engineering development with federal regulatory compliance. Their work involves translating mission science objectives into actionable technical and policy deliverables, particularly for small satellite platforms operating in low Earth orbit. This relationship suggests a pattern of collaboration on research-focused, non-classified space science initiatives requiring rigorous documentation and interagency coordination. Maverick’s core industry focus is in NAICS 336419, encompassing the manufacturing and support of guided missile and space vehicle parts and auxiliary equipment. In practice, this translates to specialized contributions to CubeSat and microsatellite systems, particularly those carrying scientific sensors for atmospheric and space environment monitoring. The company occupies a unique position in the small satellite ecosystem, serving as a technical integrator and regulatory advisor rather than a large-scale hardware manufacturer. As a 2L entity based in San Luis Obispo, California, Maverick Space Systems operates as a small, technically focused firm with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic proximity to aerospace research institutions and launch infrastructure enhances their ability to support rapid prototyping and mission-critical compliance efforts for government-funded space science programs.
