Plan-S's twin satellites, Connecta T3.1 and T3.2, are at the forefront of global connectivity innovation. Serving as ISL and Orbit Control Test platforms, they pave the way for a comprehensive satellite network. Within their compact 3U design, they operate in LEO & SSO orbits, boasting Plan-S's signature EPS, OBC, TMTC transceiver, ISL payload, and RF cards. Their distinctive double deployable solar panels optimize energy, while the custom sun and earth sensors amplify their cutting-edge design. The satellite is launched by SpaceX Transporter-9 mission in November 2023. The satellite has three distinctive half-duplex communication links as follows: ISL (with each other), High-Speed Data Link (with Ground Station) and TM/TC link (with Ground Station).
