KAUSAT 5
KAUSAT 5 [KAU]
KAUSAT 5 (Korea Aviation University Satellite) is a 3U cubesat developed at the Space System Research Laboratory (SSRL) at the Korea Aviation University, South Korea.
The mission of KAUSAT 5 is to observe the Earth by using IR camera and measure the amount of radiation around LEO. The secondary mission of KAUSAT-5 is to demonstrate and verify the components developed in Space System Research Lab.
The payloads on board are:
- Infrared Imaging
- Geiger Müller Tube
The satellite was to be launched as a secondary payload on a Falcon-9 v1.2 rocket, but was later moved to a PSLV-XL rocket. It wass expected to operate for one year.
Launch and deployment was successful, but the satellite apparently failed to work.
