OOV-Cube (Tubsat 30)

OOV-Cube [TU Berlin]

OOV-Cube (On-Orbit Verification Cube Satellite) is a nanosatellite mission with the purpose to demonstrate innovative scientific experiments.

It is a joint mission between TU Berlin and Rapid Cubes GmbH, while the nanosat is based on TU Berlin’s successful TUBiX10 platform. The platform has a cube shaped form factor of 25 cm × 25 cm and times; 25 cm and gained heritage during the S-NET mission (launch of four satellites in 2018) and SALSAT mission (launch in 2020).

The experiments which are hosted within OOV-CUBE mission are:

• In-orbit verification of an L-band transceiver for intersatellite communication between low Earth and geostationary orbits.
• Space qualification of perovskite solar cells.
• Onboard AI inference and data processing of remote sensing data.
• Characterization of link parameters for IoT technology (ISM frequency band).

It was launched on the maiden flight of the Ariane-62 launch vehicle.
