Overview
The TUMnanoSAT project will include the deployment in space of the first satellite from Republic of Moldova in the framework of KiboCUBE programme under the auspices of UNOOSA and JAXA will have a major impact in enhancing the quality of engineering studies based on modern space technologies, in attracting young students to develop and strengthen the scientific research in the field of space exploration, in integration of the Republic of Moldova into the community of countries that develop space technologies and will increase the participation of our researchers in the development of future partnerships, including the common use of our ground infrastructure.
Missions
- testing of nano-structure-based sensors in space conditions
- to establish effective communication subsystem "satellite-ground station" with the possibility to modify the communication rate range and ensure high reliability;
- to check the communication protocol "satellite-ground station" with different levels of access;
- testing of power supply system and the search for the optimal modes of accumulated energy distribution;
- testing of sensors subsystem for satellite attitude determining (magnetometers, micro-gyroscopes, sun sensors) in order to optimize process control satellite attitude;
- testing of the COTS electronic components operation in conditions of radiation, including the onboard computer, digital memories.
