Curium One is a 12-unit (12U) CubeSat designed and manufactured by Berlin-based company Planetary Transportation Systems (PTS – previously Part-Time Scientists) in partnership with the Athens-based Libre Space Foundation. With its dozen units come a variety of goals for the first flight of Ariane 6.
A major technical goal of the mission is the first in-orbit demonstration of the state-of-the-art ‘SatNOGS-COMMS’ radio transceiver together with the Libre Space Foundation – a Greek not-for-profit organisation also pioneering open-source technologies in space.
SatNOGS-COMMS is an ultra-high frequency (UHF) and S-band radio transceiver – a communication device that can both transmit and receive radio waves using a ‘turnstile’ antenna. It is open source and fully compatible with the SatNOGS Network.
