Main in-orbit infrastructure in which multiple technology validations can be uploaded. |
| Description |
This mission envisions to provide an open inorbit infrastructure that supports the novel developments towards the standardization and deployment of 6G NTN. Thanks to the deployment of a 6U CubeSat and a flexible payload approach, the users of this infrastructure will be able to upload dedicated experimental software that leverages the satellite hardware capabilities, like multi-radio front-ends and optical communications. Accelerated research on 6G space-to-ground connectivity will be made possible by leveraging laser communication terminals and Catalunya’s first Optical Ground Station by Transcelestial. |
