Runner-1 (Tyvak-1005), one of Tyvak's commercial small-satellite bus demonstrations, testing hardware later sold to government and commercial customers building their own missions on Tyvak's standardized platform. Tyvak's standardized satellite bus approach lets customers skip years of custom spacecraft design, instead building their specific mission payload on top of hardware Tyvak has already proven works reliably in orbit.
