The LignoSat 1 is a CubeSat and measures 10 centimetres (3.9 in) on each side, [5] and weighs 900 grams (32 oz) [3]. The satellite was launched to space on November 5, 2024 by SpaceX's Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket inside the uncrewed Cargo Dragon from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the International Space Station' LC-39A.
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.
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]
Alexander, also known as PhoneSat 2.0 Beta or PhoneSat v2a is a technology demonstration satellite operated by NASA's Ames Research Center, which was launched in April 2013.
Team Miles was a 6U CubeSat that was to demonstrate navigation in deep space using innovative plasma thrusters.It was also to test a software-defined radio operating in the S-band for communications from about 4 million kilometers from Earth.
GASPACS was the world's first CubeSat to use a Raspberry Pi as its flight computer. [13] [6] The Pi was responsible for running all onboard computing, running the Python scripts developed by the team. [25] [7] A secondary mission of the satellite was to test the viability of cheap commercial microcontrollers such as the Raspberry Pi. [26] [27] [28]
