HYPE

Additional information HYPE

HYPE is a Polish 1p PocketQube satellite, developed and assembled entirely in-house by the SatLab AGH student team and the Space Technology Centre at AGH University of Krakow.

The satellites primary payload is a one-of-a-kind selfie-stick, featuring a camera module mounted on a deployable boom. This camera faces a 240×240 LCD screen that displays images uploaded from the ground station. By showcasing those images in orbit, the team seeks to inspire and amplify educational efforts that highlight the accessibility of space.

In addition to its photographic capabilities, HYPE carries a miniature near-infrared spectrometer operating in the 640?1050 nm range. This instrument enables experimental, large-area mosaic spectrometry of Earths surface, enabling monitoring of light pollution, tropical forests and volcanic eruptions.

The main goal of the HYPE mission is to highlight the potential of student-driven space initiatives and establish a foundation for future satellite projects at AGH University of Krakow. The name HYPE encapsulates the teams enthusiasm and ambition to spark excitement, inspire others and show that space is within reach.
