PEASSS (Piezo Electric Assisted Smart Satellite Structure) is a Cubesat operated by several nations including the Netherlands , Germany , Belgium and Israel . The PEASSS project cost 2,667,403 euros .

Project

PEASSS was developed as part of a Fp7 project of the European Commission , in which the following companies are involved:

Germany Active Space Technologies GmbH
Netherlands TNO
Belgium SONACA
Israel NSL

The main objective of the project is to develop, manufacture, test and qualify "Smart Structures", which include composite panels and piezoelectric materials , to achieve improved energy generation in space. The system components include new nanosatellite electronics, a piezo energy system and a fiber optic sensor system .

Mission history

PEASSS was on 15 February 2017 a PSLV - carrier rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Center along with Cartosat 2D , INS 1A and 1B , Flock 3P 1-88 , Lemur 2 22-29 , DIDO 2 , BGUSat , Al-Farabi 1 and Nayif 1 launched into a sun-synchronous orbit . With 104 satellites, the launch holds the world record for the number of satellites launched on a launcher.
