Objectives

  • Analysing the utilasition of TCP/IP- techniques for telemetrical- and telecommand- data with consideration of typical aerospace problems like delay and disturbance
  • Implementing a Groundstation and invoking it into a international network of CubeSat users via Internet
  • Potentially testing of microsystem components for attitude determination (gyro, determination of declination/inclination)

Results:

Results achieved by UWE-1 are presented in 3 papers at the  "57th International Astronautical Congress" in Valencia, Spain.
