| Description |
Fly an improved remote sensing payload. The forthcoming Lilium-2 and Lilium-3 CubeSats will test and verify several key techniques that are applicable to CubeSats and microsatellites. More precisely, the Ku-band communication payload will be developed and tested. This aims to provide an end-to-end testbed for space-ground Ku band communication. The design in the satellite part is noted by using an antenna array with software-defined transceiver to perform combined satellite motion and adaptive beam forming for link establishment and maintenance. A smart remote sensing payload will also be developed to realize high-resolution image acquisition and edge AI processing. This remote sensing payload is also noted for its feature of indigenous design including a reflective lens, CMOS sensor, and deep learning algorithms |
