CSC 1 [ISISPACE]
CSC (CubeSat Carrier) are two 6U CubeSat built and operated by ISISPACE, which each carry several experiments for customers.
CSC-1 is a 6UXL multi-payload IOD Cubesat, enabling operations of four payloads:
- Miniature star tracker for attitude determination provided by Solar MEMS Technologies (ES).
- High-accuracy CubeSat Attitude Determination and Control System provided by KU Leuven University (BE).
- Arc second accurate CubeSat star tracker provided by KU Leuven University (BE).
- Radiation effects during In Orbit Flight eXperiment provided by KU Leuven University (BE).
CSC-2 is also a similar 6UXL multi-payload IOD Cubesat, enabling operations of three payloads:
- Spacepix Radiation Monitor provided by esc Aerospace s.r.o (CZ).
- In-orbit low frequency noise characterization towards the magnetic measurement system for LISA Arc second accurate CubeSat star tracker provided by Universidad de Cdiz (ES).
- Plasma Jet Pack provided by COMAT (FR).
Both cubesats comprise a single cold-gas propulsion system (I2T5) from ThrustMe, based on a solid propellant (390 g of Iodine), stored in a non-pressurized tank.
