TUMNANOSAT, 1U CUBESAT NANOSATELLITE DEVELOPED AT THE TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF MOLDOVA

Abstract

TUMnanoSAT is the nanosatellite with missions to verify the functionality of future satellite modules and subsystems: – studying the functionality and reliability of nanosensors in conditions of space radiation; – testing the sensors to determine satellite attitude (magnetometers, micro-gyroscopes, solar sensors) to optimize attitude control algorithms. – development of efficient “satellite-ground station” communication; – testing the solar energy subsystem for optimal modes of accumulated energy distribution; The launch of TUMnanoSAT will within KiboCUBE program under the auspices of UNOOSA and JAXA, which have a major impact on the improvement of the quality of engineering studies for attracting young students to develop and strengthen scientific research in space exploration.
