Educational CubeSats deployed from SSETI Express
Aboard the SSETI Express satellite, which was launched yesterday morning, were three educational CubeSat satellites each weighing 1kg and measuring 10x10x10cm.
They are:
- Ncube2 from Norway
- XI-V from University of Tokyo in Japan
- UWE-1 from University of Würzburg in Germany
The satellites were successfully deployed from SSETI Express 64 minutes into the mission and so far signals from XI-V and UWE-1 have been successfully received at their respective ground stations.
Ncube2 students are still struggling to receive the first life signs from their satellite.
ESA and the SSETI-Association congratulates the cubesat teams on the successful launch and deployment, and wish them the best of luck for the coming operations.
