Demonstrate ground-breaking satellite and ground control software under real flight conditions. OPS-SAT will be an in-orbit test-bed for: On-board software applications Advanced communication protocols Compression techniques Demonstration of advanced software-defined radio concepts Optical communication from ground to space Experiments using cameras, attitude control, scheduling and autonomy Experiments with ground-based applications can also be hosted. A 3U CubeSat with deployable solar arrays. Demonstrating drastically improved mission control capabilities that will arise when satellites can fly more powerful on-board computers. Contains an experimental computer that is ten times more powerful than any current ESA spacecraft. OPS-SAT is an open, flying laboratory that will be available for in-orbit demonstration of revolutionary new control systems and software that would be too risky to trial on a "real" satellite.
