Proof of concept for IoT communications through picosatellites in LEO.

Description

Proof of concept for IoT communications through picosatellites in LEO. It has UHF communications, stabilization through magnetorquers, seven 3J solar cells and two Li-Po batteries. Its main purpose is to test the satellite platform for its use in future missions.

Notes

D-Orbit Beyond mission booklet calls this as MDQUBESAT-1, but a satellite with that name has launched before, and Alba Orbital press release talks about MDQUBESAT-2. The booklet also says Miota Space, but it is an alternative name for Innova Space. Confirmed with the CEO.
