Yangwang 1 [SAASYU]
Yixian A was a small Chinese satellite designed by the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics of Sun Yat-sen University.
In orbit, the satellite was to accomplish three technical and flight verifications: software-defined satellite convenient payload development technology based on Raspberry Pi, on-orbit testing and strain measurement of wooden outer panels, and space self-portrait imaging and satellite detection.
It was lost in a launch failure in late 2024.
