Rubin 9.2 is a Germanexperimental satellite payload launched on 23 September 2009 in 06:21[1] aboardPSLV-CA rocket at theSatish Dhawan Space Centre in India.[2] Rubin 9.2 shares the host satellite Rubin-9 with another payload,Rubin 9.1. The Rubin-9 "satellite" (COSPAR 2009-051F) was actually the upper stage of the carrier rocket to which the payloads were solidly bolted onto; after the rocket had finished its mission with the primary payload, the upper stage remained in space and became "satellite" Rubin-9. Rubin 9.2 was developed byOHB System to continue their series of AIS receiver experiments that they had performed on previous Rubin-flights.[3] AIS is a network used to find shipping vessels and identify them.[4] Non-operational as of 2019,[2] itsorbit was 792 * 712 km, at 98°.[1]
