Mission Details
Cartosat-2A
Cartosat-2A is an Earth observation satellite in a sun-synchronous orbit and the third of the Cartosat series of satellites. The satellite is the thirteenth satellite in the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite series to be built, launched, and maintained by the Indian Space Research Organisation.
IMS-1/TWSAT
IMS-1 is an Earth observation satellite in a sun-synchronous orbit. The satellite which is the fourteenth satellite in the Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite series has been built, launched, and maintained by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). IMS-1 is the first satellite to use ISRO's Indian Mini Satellite bus.
RUBIN-8
RUBIN-8, also known as RUBIN-AIS (Automatic Identification System), is a German space experiment package, built by OHB-System.
CanX-6/NTS
The CanX-6 (Canadian Advanced Nanospace eXperiments), a.k.a. NTS (Nanosat tracking Ships), project was started in October 2007 as a collaboration between COM DEV International Ltd. and UTIAS/SFL to develop a 6.5 kg nanosatellite that will serve to demonstrate key elements of COM DEV space-based AIS (Automatic Identification System) detection technology and enable any design changes to be incorporated prior to launching full operational systems. Hence the spacecraft is also known as NTS - the Nanosatellite Tracking Ships.
CanX-2
The mission of the CanX-2 nanosatellite, weighing 3.5 kilograms, is to evaluate new technologies that will be used on the CanX-4/CanX-5 dual satellite mission in 2009 to demonstrate controlled formation flying in space. It is hoped that this formation flying technology will allow larger missions for high-resolution Earth observation and interferometric imaging that can also be used for space astronomy.
Cute-1.7+APD II
CUTE-1.7 + APD II, or CUTE-1.7+APD 2, is a Japanese nanosatellite that was launched in 2008 as a follow-up to the CUTE-1.7 + APD satellite. It was built and operated by the Tokyo Institute of Technology.
Delfi-C3
Delfi-C3 is a CubeSat satellite constructed by students at the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands.
SEEDS-2
The Space Engineering EDucation Satellite 2[1] (SEEDS-2) is a Japanese amateur CubeSat picosatellite, built and operated by Nihon University.
COMPASS-1
Compass-1 (also known as Compass One) is a German amateur CubeSat picosatellite, built and operated in the late 2000s by Aachen University of Applied Science.
AAUSAT-II
AAUSAT-II is the second student-built CubeSat built and operated by students from Aalborg University in Denmark.
