| Description | It is a 3U satellite entirely developed by OrbAstro. Included: - Ultrascale+ based OBC - Novel long-life EPS, 36Wh - Full ADCS with dual star-trackers and GPS - SDR S-band transceiver - Electric Propulsion - 3rd-party hosted payloads - Solar panels - Ultra-light aluminium-carbon chassis COTS redundant UHF transceiver and solar panel are included to de-risk. Total satellite mass is 1.66kg (not including 3rd-party hosted payloads & COTS redundant systems). When the build-trigger was pulled, nuts/bolts to flight-qualified satellite shipped out the door: 5 days. There were some teething issues. Our aim for the Dec mission is 3 days. We are building batch-production capabilities with a lot of automation involved. More on that in a later post. There are some very interesting payloads we’re not yet ready to reveal that will be flying on both missions. Watch this space! |
