G-Space 1 (GS 1, Nusantara H-1A)

G-Space 1 [Space Inventor]

G-Space 1 is a geostationary 16U CubeSat by Gravity Space hosting several payloads for different customers including Earth observation, scientific experiments and bring-into-use (BIU) services at Ku, Ka and V/Q frequency bands.

Gravity Space has contracted with Space Inventor, Denmark, to build a 16U CubeSat multi-use spacecraft to be placed into geosynchronous orbit. The satellite features three electric Enpulsion Nano AR³ thrusters.

The satellite will host several payloads:

• Nusantara H-1A is an Indonesian payload launched to retain the Ka- and Ku-band rights to a geostationary orbital slot reserved for a delayed communications satellite. Indonesia is going to retain the rights by the temporary use of small placeholder satellite, which will “bring into use” (BIU) the reserved frequencies for a time of three months, which will allow an extension of the deadline to start operations with the real communications satellite.
• Infinite Orbits is building and testing its Space Situational Awareness payload “Orbit Guard” with the capability to track Resident Space Objects (RSOs) using next-generation computer vision capabilities driven by machine learning-based estimation techniques.
