VELOX P3 (VELOX 1-PSAT)
VELOX P3 [NTU]
The VELOX-I mission is a Singaporean nanosatellite mission consisting of two satellites - VELOX-1 and the VELOX P3 subsatellite - to operate in sun synchronous Low Earth’s Orbit (LEO). The project is part of NTU’s Undergraduate Satellite Program, which provides an opportunity for engineering students to participate in a multidisciplinary hands-on space project.
The objective of VELOX P3 (PSAT) is separate from the nanosatellite VELOX-1 (N-Sat) for an intersatellite communication experiment.
VELOX P3 is a 0.25 kg satellite with dimensions of 60 mm × 70 mm × 30 mm and body mounted solar cells. It has a projected life time of 1 years.
VELOX P3 was apparently never deployed.
