NEXTSat 1 [KAIST]
NEXTSat 1 () is a multi-purpose microsatellite designed and developed at SaTReC (Satellite Technology Research Center) of KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology).
The purpose of the NEXTSat 1 mission are:
- To develop the next-generation small satellite series and new technologies by creating a standardized platform for small satellites based on miniaturization, modularization and standardization.
- To conduct in-orbit verification of core space technologies that will enhance domestic space capabilities and enhance technological competitiveness for import substitution.
- To develop space technologies and enhance independent space development capabilities through geo-environmental monitoring and astronomical observation
- Hands-on and customized development of researchers and scientists through field experience in space technologies and science
The NEXTSat 1 payloads are:
- Instrument for the Study of Space Storms (ISSS), developed at KAIST to detect plasma densities and particle fluxes of 10 MeV energy range near the Earth
- NIR Imaging Spectrometer for Star formation history (NISS), developed at the Korean Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), is a passively cooled near-Infra-red spectrometer with 15 cm aperture optics with a spectral coverage of 0.9�3.8 �m
The satellite was launched on Spaceflight Industry's SSO-A multi-satellite launch on a Falcon-9 v1.2 (Block 5) rocket.
