UWE 1 [ESA]
The Bayerische Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg's UWE-4 (University of Würzburg's Experimental) satellite will demonstrate the application of electric propulsion for attitude and orbit control in the 1U CubeSat class by employing the NanoFEEP (Nano Field Effect Electric Propulsion) thrusters developed by TU (Technical University) Dresden
UWE 4 will be launched in 2018 on an Indian PSLV rocket into a 600 km solar synchronous orbit.
