GomSpace Leads Development of a Teaming Agreement to Demonstrate Game-changing Communications Technology in Space With the University of Arizona, and American FreeFall Aerospace and Rincon Research
The FreeFall Aerospace inflatable antenna system packages into less than 1.5U of the total 6U Cubesat volume and deploys in orbit to provide a lightweight one meter or larger aperture that can increase total data return by 10-100 times that of conventional technology, with less mass and power. , says Doug Stetson , CEO of FreeFall Aerospace. "Working with UA and GomSpace we'll be able to help realize the full potential of small low-cost spacecraft by dramatically increasing their data return capability".
The satellite will be a 6U platform provided by GomSpace and delivered to the University of Arizona. says CEO, Niels Buus , from GomSpace.
Rincon Research will provide and program their advanced, compact, flight-qualified Software Defined Radio (AstroSDR) to complete the payload package. The AstroSDR will perform high-rate signal and image processing to support mission experiments and establish a high-bandwidth telecom link between the spacecraft and Earth.
