MDQSAT 1A, 1B (Juana Azurduy, Simón Bolivar)

MDQSAT 1A [Innova Space]

The MDQSAT 1A and 1B are two 0.5U CubeSat technology demonstration satellites developed by Innova Space.

It will serve as a technology demo of Innova Space’s new pico-satellite platform, designed to provide greater Internet of Things (IoT) communications to Latin America’s growing agriculture, mining, oil and gas sectors as part of a wider constellation of satellites.

The satellites were carried on board of the Orbiter SN1 orbital transfer vehicle on a Falcon-9 v1.2 (Block 5). Orbiter SN1 suffered a power failure in orbit, which prevented the satellites from being deployed.
