Veery RL-1 [Care Weather Technologies]
Veery RL-1 (Veery v0.1, Hatchling Veery Clay) is a picosatellite developed by Care Weather Technologies to the 1U CubeSat form factor as a technology demonstrator for their planned Veery wind scatterometer satellites.
Hatchling v0.1 demonstrates following technologies:
- a robust power system that can deliver up to 125 watts of instantaneous power
- multiple sensors to determine our orientation
- a attitude control system to point the satellite
- a micro ion thruster to preform micro orbital maneuvers
- a radio for up-linking commands, and down-linking data
- an onboard computing system, to monitor and control the satellite
