Description |
Following a partnership signed with the University of Montpellier, ten Djiboutian students were sent for training to acquire the knowledge and know-how of space systems. After graduating, the students joined the University of Montpellier Space Center (CSUM) to design a 1U Cubesat Space Mission. Phase O and A were run from March to July 2021. Then, an engineering model of DJIBOUTI-1A, a 1U type nanosatellite was assembled, based on the CSUM 1U platform and a payload developed by Expleo group. The project is currently in phase C/D, flight model being expected very soon. As for the Mission Control Center in Djibouti, it is already operational. |
