AMAJ Mother Spacecraft

Constellation of three satellites, one Cubesat and two 1P Pocketqubes, trying to support a simple IoT mission and test some of the technologies in orbit.

Constellation of three satellites, one Cubesat and two 1P Pocketqubes, trying to support a simple IoT mission and test some of the technologies in orbit. Each pocketqube will have a Payload for IoT and also a short range omnidirectional InterSatellite Link (ISL) module which lets them to communicate with the Cubesat easily. 

These 1P Pocketqubes will be loaded into a Cubesat which not only own a similar Payload and ISL module as the Pocketqubes, but also a Communication Link for the Ground Control, for Release Command and Monitoring.

The Cubesat, called ‘the Mother’, will own then, the smallest possible platform of a Cubesat to support the whole platform and Pocketqube Deployer in an oversized 1U structure (however, this concept has not been proved yet), the first of such Platforms to be developed in a Collaboration of two companies from two countries (Iran and Argentina).

As the executive part of the project, one of Pocketqubes will be developed in a competition for university students and the other will be developed by NextGen of competition organizers.
