An onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU) continuously tracks the platform’s orientation and motion, providing live pitch and roll data.
Sevia Technologies is building ShiftCore – a compact, affordable active stabilization platform that keeps small payloads stable in harsh launch and test environments.
ShiftCore is a self-contained stabilization module. Mount your payload to the top platform, connect power, and the system handles the rest – sensing motion, computing corrections, and driving actuators to keep your payload level.
An onboard inertial measurement unit (IMU) continuously tracks the platform’s orientation and motion, providing live pitch and roll data.
An embedded controller (ESP32) runs tuned control loops, comparing the measured orientation to the desired setpoint and computing corrective action.
Dual servo-driven linkages adjust the platform angle, countering disturbance from vibration, motion, and handling to keep the payload stable.
Sevia Technologies is focused on one thing: building a stabilization platform that small satellite and payload teams can actually afford and integrate.
CubeSat teams, university labs, and emerging aerospace companies launching small payloads that need reliable, predictable stability without oversized or overpriced hardware.
Existing stabilization systems are geared toward larger, expensive payloads. Small teams often fly with no stabilization at all. ShiftCore is designed to change that, creating a new layer in the stack for small hardware.
If you build or test small satellites, CubeSats, or other sensitive payloads and want to explore integrating ShiftCore into your work, we’d like to hear from you.
Share a brief description of your payload, mass, environment, and timelines. We’re prioritizing teams actively working on launches, lab testing, or hardware-in-the-loop setups.
We’ll be publishing build progress, test results, and roadmap updates as ShiftCore moves from MK1 prototype to later versions.
