Tubsat N1
Tubsat N1 [VECTRONIC Aerospace]
TUBSAT-N andTubsat-N1 are two nanosatellites, which were launched on the 7th of July 1998 as asatellite cluster from a submarine with a RussianShtil-1rocket in the Barents Sea. All systems are working well and the satellites are in aexcellent overall condition. The satellites were separated in orbit via telecommand. Bothsatellites were developed at the Technical University of Berlin and the complete projectwas financed by DLR.
TUBSAT-N1 has a mass of less than 3 kg and main dimensions of 320 × 320 × 34 mm³. Themain payload are two communication transceivers for store and forward communication with abaud-rate of 1200 and 2400 baud. The transceivers work in the 70 cm frequency band and usealso FFSK modulation. The attitude control of TUBSAT-N1 consistis of passiv magneticcoils. The electrical power for TUBSAT-N1 is provided by 9 NiCd-battery cells of 2.8 Ah(SANYO). The battery cells are connected serially and provide an unregulated bus voltagefrom 9 to 13 V. The batteries are charged by 4 strings of solar cells with the dimensions2 × 4 cm². Each string consists of 34 cells.
Like TUBSAT-N it is used for tracking medium-sized and large mammals, stolen cars andto collect data from autonomous buoys for earth environmental observation. These buoys arelocated in the northern atlantic ocean and near the canary islands.
In spring 2000 the ground station observed the re-entry of TUBSAT-N1.
