KitSat-3 ( K orean I nstitute of T echnology Sat ellite 3 ) (also known as Uribyol 3 ) is a South Korean research satellite . Most of it is used for marine research in the Indian Ocean . He is from the KAIST - University operated.
Furnishing
KitSat-3 was designed for an inexpensive and small satellite.
The satellite bus system was designed and developed by SaTReC.
His tasks were:
- To observe changes in the room environment in relation to solar activity
- Collect scientific data for space science
The satellite hosted the following experiments:
- The Multispectral Earth Imaging System (MEIS) has achieved international recognition due to its excellent performance (13.5 m resolution), which offers image quality comparable to that of large satellites,
- The Space Environment Scientific Experiment (SENSE),
- The High Energy Particle Telescope (HEPT),
- A radiation protection for Microelectronics (REME)
- The Electron Temperature Probe (ETP) and
- A Scientific Magnetometer (SMAG)
KitSat-3 is cube-shaped and is powered by solar cells and batteries.
begin
KitSat-3 was on 26 May 1999 with a PSLV - launcher along with OceanSat-1 and DLR TUBSAT from the Satish Dhawan Space Center into a sun-synchronous orbit brought.
