    InnoCube

    Innovative CubeSat for Education

    InnoCube is a 3U Cubesat and the first satellite whose modules will communicate completely wirelessly via our SKITH protocol.

    In addition, there are two scientific payloads from our project partners, the Institute for Aerospace (IRL) at the TU Berlin:
    Episode, a software-defined GNSS including a mini laser retroreflector, and the Wall#E structural battery , both of which are flying for the first time. In addition, InnoCube carries an amateuer radio payload. 

    Educating our students is an important aspect of this project and there are resources available for student assistants as well as topics for student thesis and internships.

    Update: InnoCube was launched successfully on January 14th 2025 from Transporter 12 and the team was able to make contact. InnoCube's NORAD-ID is 62616.
