Preliminary Mission Specifications of MOSAIC Satellite
摘要
Nano satellites, also known as nano-sats, are small satellites that typically weigh less than 10 kg. Here, we present CubeSat, a class of nano-sats, that consists of one or more “cubes” that form the satellite structure where platform and payload equipment is to be placed. This paper discusses preliminary mission specifications as a first step of designing MOSAIC (Multi-purpOSe AcademIc Cubesat). MOSAIC is to be the first Serbian scientific CubeSat satellite with ambitious technological, scientific and educational goals. The specifications include satellite power, mass and link budgets, and the technical documentation for the mission payload.
