EIRSAT-1 and CubeSat Deployer<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

EIRSAT-1 is expected to launch on a Space X Falcon 9 rocket from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, USA, on November 29, 2023. It will have a downlink on the IARU coordinated frequency of 437.100 MHz, see https:\/\/iaru.amsat-uk.org\/finished_detail.php?serialnum=639<\/a><\/p>\n

\"EIRSAT-1<\/a>EIRSAT-1 was built by students from University College Dublin under the framework of ESA Academy\u2019s Fly Your Satellite! programme (FYS) \u2013 a fully hands-on initiative supporting university student teams in the development of their own satellites.<\/p>\n

Lead by students from the UCD School of Physics and the UCD College of Engineering, the project began in 2017 when the team\u2019s proposal to build a CubeSat to perform gamma ray astronomy was accepted as part of the 2nd cycle of FYS.<\/p>\n

The 2-unit CubeSat carries three experiments \u2013 or \u2018payloads\u2019. The primary science payload GMOD is a gamma ray detector that will study the most luminous explosions in the universe, gamma ray bursts. Secondary payloads include a thermal coating study that will assess the performance of surface treatments for satellites as well as an alternative system for controlling spacecraft orientation.<\/p>\n
