SBUDNIC was launched to test Arduino Nano and other commercial off-the-shelf technology in space, using a simple, open-source design. [2]An ambitious project is the QB50, an international network of 50 CubeSats for multi-point by different universities and other teams, in-situ measurements in the lower thermosphere (90–350 km) and re-entry research.
Flock-1 is a CubeSat satellite constellation launched on 9 January 2014.The satellite is built in a CubeSat bus, and each constellation consists of 28 satellites. All instruments are powered by solar cells mounted on the spacecraft body, along with triple-folded wings, providing approximately 20 watts at maximal power.
The Astra Rocket 3.3 vehicle (serial number LV0010) carrying two satellites for the TROPICS-1 mission failed to reach orbit and the satellites were lost. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] Following the retirement of Rocket 3.3 on 4 August 2022, it was reported that NASA intended to wait for Astra's Rocket 4 to be developed for the launch of the remaining four ...
The GPS constellation calls for 24 satellites to be distributed equally among six orbital planes. Notice how the number of satellites in view from a given point on the Earth's surface, in this example at 40°N, changes with time. A satellite constellation is a group of artificial satellites working together as a system.
Edison Demonstration of Smallsat Networks (EDSN) was a failed (launch failure) CubeSat constellation by NASA Ames, developed as a technology demonstration of satellite networking. The constellation would have consisted of 8 identical satellites. The satellites followed the CubeSat specifications for a 1.5U CubeSat.
Satellogic began launching their Aleph-1 constellation of ÑuSat satellites in May 2016. [2] On 19 December 2019, Satellogic announced they have received US$50 million in funding in the latest funding round. [3] In January 2022 the company went public with a special-purpose acquisition company (CF Acquisition Corp. V) merger. [4]
F-1 is a CubeSat built by FSpace laboratory at FPT University, in Hanoi, Vietnam, in partnership with Angstrom Space Technology Center (ASTC), Uppsala University, Sweden and Nanoracks LLC, United States.
Ncube-2, a Norwegian CubeSat (10 cm (3.9 in) cube). A CubeSat is a class of small satellite with a form factor of 10 cm (3.9 in) cubes. [1] CubeSats have a mass of no more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) per unit, [2] and often use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for their electronics and structure.
