Session
Technical Session I: New Applications & Sensor Technology
Abstract
SARA is a scientific small satellite initiated designed and assembled by students or just graduated post-students be project lasted 3 years in an aerospace club ESIEESPACE; a club created in an engineers school ESIEE ( Ecole Superieure d’Ingenieurs en Electronique et Electrotenique) near Paris. The purpose of SARA is to provide a long term survey of the decametric Surrounding radiations above ionosphere. Datas will be used by radioastronomers for a better understanding of the jovian atmosphere. SARA has been launched on July 16 1991 thanks to ARlANE at Kourou. It weight 26Kg, looks like a 35cm cube with three ten meter antennas. This project is an opportunity for a french space association to develop new ways to deal with space. SARA is also a new step in Microsat designing for educational activities which can lead to valuable experience to improve bigger projects.
