AISSat-4 will be controlled in orbit by Statsat, with the Norwegian Space Center as the coordinator for the construction and formal operator of the satellite. AISSat-4 measures just 10 x 20 x 30 centimeters and weighs just over 6 kilograms. It is therefore smaller than NorSat-1, -2 and -3, and significantly smaller than NorSat-TD, which weighs 35 kilograms. The payload on board AISSat-4 will be an AIS receiver of the ASR C-50 type from Kongsberg Discovery (formerly Kongsberg Seatex). |
