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.
This is a list of spacecraft deployed from the International Space Station.The International Space Station deploys spacecraft using the JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD), the Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD), Space Station Integrated Kinetic Launcher for Orbital Payload Systems (SSIKLOPS), or the Nauka MLM experiments airlock module.
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.
The constellation will consist of four 16U CubeSats and will focus on analysis and automating and integrating image data from the Scottish Forestry’s Geospatial Information Systems and operations. [9] On 22 August, 2024, AAC Clyde Space was awarded kr7.1 million for the delivery of reaction wheels to an undisclosed US Blue Chip firm. [10]
LICIACube is the first deep space mission developed and autonomously managed by an Italian team. To collaborate upon the design, integration, and testing of the CubeSat, the Italian Space Agency selected the aerospace company Argotec, while the LICIACube GS has a complex architecture based on a mission control center in Turin hosted by Argotec and science operation center in Rome.
Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer. The Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD) is a device to deploy CubeSats into orbit from the International Space Station (ISS).. In 2014, two CubeSat deployers were on board the International Space Station (ISS): the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) and the Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD).
The satellites are an unusual 1.5U variant of the CubeSat design for microsatellites. Both satellites were launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in October 2011 atop a Delta II rocket. This was a multi-payload mission with four other CubeSats, AubieSat-1, M-Cubed, Explorer-1_Prime and RAX-2. [2]
The TROPICS Pathfinder CubeSat mission, consisting of a single satellite, was approved by NASA's Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) Program Office in order to demonstrate the technologies planned for use on TROPICS in advance of the constellation's launch.
