Educational CubeSats deployed from SSETI Express
 
28 October 2005
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 flight model of CubeSat XI-V
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.
