Session
Technical Session III: New Missions II
Abstract
TUBSAT is a low cost platform for space technology experiments. Although its size is modest (micro-satellite class), it provides remarkable volume and space to the experiment. TUBSAT-A has been launched already and is not attitude controlled. TUBSAT-B and consecutive models will be provided with high accuracy (arc sec) attitude control to any desired direction via star sensor plus 3 reaction wheels. The launch of TUBSAT-B is presently scheduled for October 1993.
