NORSAT TD [UTIAS]
The Space Flight Laboratory (SFL) is developing the NORSAT TD microsatellite, for the Norsk Romsenter (Norwegian Space Centre) for demonstrating new technologies.
SFL is building the NorSat-TD satellite for the Norwegian Space Agency based upon its DEFIANT platform. NorSat-TD represents impressive technological collaboration among European nations. Multiple advanced or experimental payloads will see their first applications in orbit aboard the microsatellite:
