A partnership between esa and the Commonwealth Space Commission (CWSC):
Overview
K-SAT is a cutting-edge satellite system developed through a partnership between the European Space Agency (esa) and the Commonwealth Space Commission (CWSC). This collaboration brings together the best of European aerospace technology and Commonwealth nations' expertise.
There is also Ukraine🇺🇦 which is the country that will launch K-SAT.
The Coms tower is also designed by Canada🇨🇦
K-SAT is easy to manufacture and has a simple design,it ensures that it will provide MultiRole services with a low amount of cost.
Key Components and Their Origins
- Satellite Body: Built by OHB Sweden, a leading European aerospace company.
Optical Ground Stations: Developed by KSAT in Norway, with contributions from partners like ASTELCO Systems for the telescopes and Work Microwave for the baseband units.
Satellite Operations: Managed by KSAT, utilizing their extensive ground station network, including the world’s largest polar station in Svalbard, Norway.
Communication Systems: Integrated by ESA-ESOC (European Space Operations Centre) in Germany, with support from Sony CSL for signal testing, Canada is also involved due to them sharing they're expertise in Communication Systems
Environmental Monitoring Instruments: Provided by various European partners, including Thales Alenia Space for the Arctic Weather Satellite mission.
Mission Capabilities
K-SAT is designed for a wide range of applications, including:
Earth Observation: Capturing high-resolution images for environmental monitoring and disaster management.
Communication: Providing reliable data transmission for both commercial and scientific purposes.
Climate Research: Supporting vital climate research and weather forecasting, especially in the Arctic region.
