Educational mission, capacity building and technology demonstration.

Description

Provide hands-on practical training to the students participating in the project. Scientific and research objectives include testing the CubeSat sensors, as well as the communication link for the CubeSat. With an on-board camera, the CubeSat will aim to capture Earth images as a step forward for Moldova toward eventually developing its own Earth observation satellite.

  • To help students to understand satellite subsystems, satellite design and launch process.
  • To promote radio amateur communication - to study the operation and behavior, reliability of the sensors based on nano- and micro-wires in the space conditions.
  • Testing of attitude subsystem sensors for determining of satellite attitude (magnetometers, micro-gyroscopes, sun sensors) in order to optimize attitude control algorithms.
  • To establish effective communication subsystem "satellite-ground station" with the possibility to modify the communication rate range to ensure high reliability.
  • To check the communication protocol "satellite-ground station" with different levels of access.
