Talk

The PHASMA mission, developed by the Libre Space Foundation, is a two 3U CubeSat constellation designed for spectrum monitoring and space-based situational awareness. The mission's primary objectives include in-orbit spectrum analysis (UHF, GPS and S-band) to quantify global spectrum utilization, identify interference sources, and detect regulatory violations using on-board DSP and machine...

31. AcubeSAT, the 3U platform for biological experiments in space: a status update

Konstantinos Gkaripis (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki)

Talk

Given the ever-growing demand to make science in space more approachable – and the value of experimental data in such conditions – the SpaceDot team has been driven by the ambition of sending a low-cost, high-throughput, modular science platform in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), in service of open science. This has led to the conception of AcubeSAT, a 3U CubeSat carrying a novel payload which combines...
