QB50P2 (EO 80, European-OSCAR 80) (original) (raw)

QB50P2 [ISIS]

QB50P1 is one of two precursor satellites for the QB50 project, which demonstrates the possibility of launching a network of 50 CubeSats built by Universities Teams all over the world as a primary payload on a low-cost launch vehicle to perform first-class science in the largely unexplored lower thermosphere.

QB50P2 is a 2U-CubeSat built on a structure delivered by ISIS to test the Set 2 (FIPEX) payload.

The following payloads were integrated into the ISIS satellite platforms:

• FIPEX (Flux-Φ-Probe Experiment) Payload, University of Dresden, Germany
• QB50 ADCS system from SSC, UK
• Thermocouple experiment from VKI, Belgium
• AMSAT-Fr 435/145 MHz FM voice transponder from AMSAT Francophone, France

After reaching orbit, the satellite received the additional radio amateur name EO 80 (European OSCAR 80).
