Description

Smallest satellite developed in Estonia and it is being developed by Estonian Student Satellite with students from TalTech and Tartu University. New satellites technical payloads are developed by our partners Skudo OÜ, Falconers and Golbriak Space OÜ.

Planned payloads for SUTS are:

We are currently planning to move into the first development phase, which would be primarily based on prototyping. We are creating simulations to develop a satellite navigation system and choosing what magnetorquers are suitable for us.

One of the SUTS satellite's core functionalities will be pointing, so there is a significant emphasis on a compact attitude determination and control system. The satellite’s avionics stack and COM system will be made completely in-house.
