RazakSAT – Launch Vehicle Omelek Island, 9º2.890’N, 167º44.585’E Falcon-1
Research SatelliteCubeSat • Pico-satellite • 10cm cubes, with mass <1kg • Using commercial off-the-shelf components • Typical lifetime: 6 months • Use of standard deployment system P-POD • Advantage • “Smaller, Cheaper, Faster, Better” • able to perform as a test bed for new systems and core space technologies to be applied to space programs
INNOSAT • Also known as Innovative Satellite • Participation from Malaysia universities • Stack from 3U CubeSat kit • Some subsystem design & develop by universities, e.g. ADCS & power • Will be launched together with RazakSAT™
Educational SatelliteSiswaSAT • Well known as CanSat. • Weighing 350 to 1050 g • CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite • Include most subsystems found in satellite • Simulate subsystem requirements of real satellite • All basic functions of a satellite, such as those of power and communications, are fitted into a soda can of 350 ml • Usually, CanSat launch as the payload in an amateur rocket up to altitude of 3000m and have their own recovery system; usually a parachute or parafoil that will allow a slow drift about 20 minutes.
Malaysia SiswaSAT competition • New initiative for national space educational programs • Provide entry level platform to undergraduate student in experiencing satellite development process • Development, launch and operation of SiswaSAT • Standard kit which only covers main subsystem will be provided; allow them to have flexibility and innovative idea in designing their SiswaSAT • Participants will be evaluated based on compliance to mission requirements, documentation and presentation during PDR & CDR, engineering and management aspect. Bonus point will be given for their creativity & innovative. • SiswaSAT will be carried by captive balloon with helium gas up to 150m from ground and launch.
