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.
