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: the software-defined GNSS Episode including a mini laser retroreflector, and the Wall#E structural battery , both of which are flying for the first time.

The InnoCube launch is planned for winter 2024 and we expect a mission phase of around one year.

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