SPiN-2 Spacecraft

Primary payload is ARCA Dynamics' SMART (Space Monitoring and Reconnaissance Technology) system, featuring two optical sensors and a dedicated processing unit.

The SPiN-2 mission represents a significant milestone in demonstrating the capabilities of SPiN's innovative MA61C CubeSat plug-and-play solution, which will integrate without user intervention cutting-edge components such as Arca Dynamics's Space Situational Awareness (SSA) payload and List's directly printed sensors into a generic satellite platform.

The SPiN-2 mission consists of a 3U CubeSat platform developed by German Orbital Systems (GOS) that will accommodate an advanced optical payload developed by ARCA Dynamics. List’s directly printed sensors, along with SPiN's proprietary hardware and software universal adapter, will serve as the critical interface between the platform and optical systems.

The mission's primary payload is ARCA Dynamics' SMART (Space Monitoring and Reconnaissance Technology) system, featuring two optical sensors and a dedicated processing unit designed to acquire and process images of space objects during specific orbital segments before transmitting data to ground stations.

Additionally, the mission will carry a secondary payload from LIST (Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology), featuring innovative flexible thermal strain gauges produced through additive manufacturing technology. These directly printed sensors will demonstrate advanced temperature and health monitoring capabilities for satellite components

The SPiN-2 mission brings together a consortium of leading European space technology companies:

• ARCA Dynamics: Providing the innovative SMART optical payload system
• LIST: Contributing advanced additive manufacturing sensor technology
• German Orbital Systems (GOS): Responsible for mission design, system engineering, spacecraft manufacturing, and operations
• Exolaunch GmbH: Supplying launch services and deployment through their EXOpod Nova deployer system
