Here's a general listing of CubeSat component manufacturers and the components each manufacture.

  • Pumpkin
    • Founded by Stanford Professor Andrew Kalman, Pumpkin aims to provide cubesat kits, components, and software.
    • Specialties:
      • Salvo Real Time Operating System
      • CubeSatKit and development hardware for a variety of microcontrollers
      • Software for interfacing with a variety of other relevant components, such as radios and EPS systems
  • ClydeSpace
    • Particularly in the field of power consumption and generation, ClydeSpace provides a wide array of COTS CubeSat components. This includes premade solar panels, EPS systems, batteries, and deployable solar panels.
      • ClydeSpace also provides a CubeSat onboard computer module, though the flexibility and applications of this system seemed somewhat unclear.
  • AstroDev
    • Astronautical Development manufactures and sells CubeSat radio hardware. This includes the Helium and Lithium radios, which have been used on past satellites built by the Stanford Space Systems Development Laboratory.
