Pushan alpha [Digantara]
Pushan alpha is a CubeSat developed by Digantara to serve as a space weather testbed in sun-syncronous orbit (SSO).
The mission objectives are:
- Extending radiation measurements to SSO, augmenting data from ROBI (hosted on POEM).
- Assessing mid to high energy particle radiation from South Atlantic Anomaly.
- Correlation of atmospheric drag and particle environment for enhanced orbit and debris modelling.
Note: It is unclear, if Pushan alpha is a free-flying satellite or a hosted payload on another satellite of this launch.
