Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems

Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems designs, builds and provides nanosatellite and CubeSat space vehicle products and services for government and commercial customers. Tyvak is based in Irvine, California.

In 2011, Jordi Puig-Suari, coinventor of the CubeSat design, and Scott MacGillivray, former manager of nanosatellite programs for Boeing Phantom Works, established Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems in San Luis Obispo, California, to sell miniature avionics packages for small satellites, with the goal to increase the volume available for payloads.[1]

On 18 November 2019, Tyvak was one of five companies selected to be eligible to bid for the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS).[2]
