GSTP Element 3 - Fly - has initiated the Phase A study for a 12 U cubesat called GOMX-5. This mission will be used to showcase new nanosatellite capabilities for the next generation of constellations requiring high speed communications links and high levels of manoeuvrability.

The mission will consist of two nanosatellites in the 20kg class with an improved platform for increased power handling and reliability. Further, the satellites will be equipped with a number of advanced communication technology payloads. The space for empty payloads on each satellite (8U in total) are open to third partys to enable them to fly their own payloads.  

The GomX missions are funded primarily by Denmark in the ‘Fly’ element of ESA’s General Support Technology Programme to develop and prove leading edge space technologies. The present contract covers design and specification work planned for 2019 and launch for the GOMX-5 mission is foreseen to be in 2021.

For parties interested in applying to fly their own payloads, please contact Jane Ribergaard Holm, Director of Business Development at GomSpace (jrh@gomspace.com). The deadline for applying is 15 March 2019
