TabletSat-Aurora [SPUTNIX]

The Russian start-up company SPUTNIX designed and built the TabletSat-Aurora (ТаблетСат-Аврора) technology demonstrator and earth observing satellite.

The satellite features SPUTNIX's TabletSat-2U-EO bus, which feautures following systems:

  • Three-axial orientation and stabilization system (flywheels, motors-gyros, star mapper and sun sensor, magnetometer, and angular rate sensor);
  • GPS navigator;
  • UHF telecommand and telemetry module;
  • Plug-n-Play architecture based on SpaceWire bus;
  • X-Band transmission system;
  • LiFePO4 battery-powered supply system;
  • Experimental PCB-based AsGa solar panel.

The spacecraft is fitted with panchromatic photo- and video- camera operating in 430 950 nm spectral band as the primary payload to perform imagery of Earth surface with a ground resolution of 15 m and a swath width of 47 km.
