STSAT 1
STSAT 1 [KAIST]
The STSAT-1 (Science and Technology SATellite-1), formerly known as KAISTSat 4 (Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology Satellite 4), program aims to develop a high performance small satellite bus, high performance scientific payload design and research on space science and develop advanced technology for future space missions.
The STSAT-1 payloads are
- FIMS (Far-ultraviolet IMaging Spectrograph),
- SST (Solid State Telescope) ,
- DCS (Data Collection System),
- NAST (Narrow Angle Star Sensor),
- SPEAR (Spectroscopy of Plasma Evolution from Astrophysical Radiation)
The STSAT-1 was launched in September 2003.
