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.
The CubeSat standard for nanosatellites was followed during the engineering of ESTCube-1, resulting in a 10×10×11.35 cm cube, with a volume of 1 liter and a mass of 1.048 kg. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The mission ended officially on 17 February, 2015, and it was said that during this time it resulted in 29 bachelor's and 19 master's dissertations, 5 ...
EQUiSat was a 1U (one unit) CubeSat designed and built by Brown Space Engineering (formerly Brown CubeSat Team), an undergraduate student group at Brown University's School of Engineering. EQUiSat's mission was to test a battery technology that had never flown in space which powered an beacon that was designed to be visible from Earth.
ITF-1, also known as Yui, was an amateur radio cubesat built by Tsukuba University of Japan. It had a size of 100x100x100mm (without antenna) and was built around a standard 1U cubesat bus. The satellite's primary purpose was the raising awareness of space by providing an easily decoded signal to amateur radio receivers.
Released into space from the Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer on the KibÅ module of the International Space Station on 7 July 2017, Mazaalai was the first Mongolian satellite in space. [4] It had imaging capabilities and could transmit songs back to Earth, but its primary mission involved performing experiments including GPS location, air density ...
FUNcube-1 is a complete educational single unit CubeSat satellite with the goal of enthusing and educating young people about radio, space, physics and electronics. It is part of a program which aims to launch more of these educational CubeSats. [1]
OSSI-1 was a 1U CubeSat with 100mm sides, weighing 950g. [2] [7] It uses an Arduino microcontroller, a lithium-ion battery and a J mode UHF/VHF transceiver. [7] The satellite had a Morse code beacon transmitting "OS0 DE OSSI1 ANYOUNG" on 145.980 MHz and 4 LED lights with a total power of 44 watts to flash Morse code messages, using an open ...
SkyCube was an American crowdsourced CubeSat. It was first announced on Kickstarter on 14 July 2012 and successfully funded on 12 September 2012, meeting its US$82,500 goal with a total of US$116,890.
