International Cubesat Payloads Overview

This document discusses several small satellite payloads from different countries that will fly as secondary payloads aboard an Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) PSLV rocket. These include SwissCube from Switzerland, BeeSat from Germany, ITUpSAT-1 from Turkey, UWE-2 from Germany, and RUBIN 9.1 and RUBIN 9.2 from Germany, which are advanced test satellites. Small satellites like CubeSats provide opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience with satellite design and systems engineering.

CUBESAT AND RUBINSATS

INTERNATIONAL PIGGYBACK PAYLOADS FROM


GERMANY, TURKEY, LUXEMBOURG AND
SWITZERLAND
SMALL SATELLITE SYSTEMS

• ISRO has supported the development of student built small


satellite by providing them launch opportunities on-board the
PSLV.
• They have provided this opportunity to foreign as well as
Indian students. The first student built Indian small satellite
was ANUSAT.
• Cubesat is a small satellite having a volume of 1 litre and
weighs 1 kg.
• They are easy to build with off-the-shelf electronic
components.
• This makes it attractive for under-graduate and graduate
science and engineering students to work on them to gain
practical experience in systems engineering in relation to
satellite systems.
SWISSCUBE
• SwissCube is a cubesat payload provided
by Switzerland.
• It is the first student developed and built
satellite in Switzerland.
• Developed by Ecole Polytechnique
Federale De Lausanne (EPFL) in 10 labs.
• It aims to study night glow phenomenon.
BEESAT

• BeeSat expands as the Berlin Experimental and Educational


Satellite.
• Developed by the Technical University of Berlin.
• It’s main objective is to provide on-orbit verification of the
newly developed miniature reaction wheel system for small
satellite applications.
• Verification of additional small satellite technologies
• Learning Experience for the team.
ITUpSAT-1

• It was developed by the Istanbul Technical University


• It will carry a low resoultion camera as payload
• It will work towards building experienced staff in satellite
systems in Turkey
• It will provide students in theoretical astronautics some
practical exposure in the University's Astronautics
department.
UWE-2

• It is the University of Wurzberg’s second Experimental


Satellite developed in Germany
• It seeks to demonstrate the Attitude Determination System
(ADS) and use of Internet Protocol in Space
RUBIN 9.1 & RUBIN 9.2

• RUBINs are advanced payload satellites that fly attached to


the launch vehicle and perform test of advanced satellite
systems before they are deployed on actual satellites.
• These are developed by Bremmen, Germany based OHB-
System.
• The last RUBIN also flew in a PSLV-CA flight PSLV-C9 and
was called RUBIN 8
• The RUBINs flying on this mission are called RUBIN 9.1 and
RUBIN 9.2.
