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.
SNIPE (Small scale magNetospheric and Ionospheric Plasma Experiment) is a CubeSat developed by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) for five years to observe space weather. [1] It is the world's first CubeSat to be equipped with a formation flight function that can change the distance between satellites and flight pattern ...
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.
SpaceBEE is a constellation of picosatellites, predominantly in the CubeSat 0.25U form factor, intended to reach a quantity of 150. [25] SpaceBEE test models 5 to 9 were larger to assuage concerns about radar tracking. Swarm's website lists the satellites' mass at 400 g and size at 110 × 110 × 28 mm.
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 ...
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.
CubeSat: Manufacturer: FPT University: Launch mass: 1 kg (2.2 lb) Dimensions: 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm (1U) Start of mission; Launch date: 21 July 2012, 02:06:18 UTC [2] Rocket: H-IIB F3: Launch site: Tanegashima, Yoshinobu LC-Y2: Contractor: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries: Deployed from: ISS KibÅ Delivered by Kounotori 3: Deployment date: 4 October ...
The Dove-2 mission is an internal company technology demonstration experiment to test the capabilities of a low-cost spacecraft constrained to the 3U CubeSat form factor to host a small payload. [5] The Dove-2 satellite was launched at 10:00 UTC April 19, 2013 aboard a Soyuz-2.1a rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.
