The Development and Design of New Generation HAUSAT-1 (CubeSat) Pico Satellite (2002 Joint Conference on Satellite Communications(JC-SAT2002)--衛星通信技術及び一般) The Development and Design of New Generation HAUSAT-1(CubeSat) Pico Satellite

This paper addresses the development and design of the HAUSAT-1 (Hankuk Aviation University SATellite-1), a new generation picosatellite, being developed by SSRI (Space System Research Lab.) of Hankuk Aviation University. This project is funded by Korean Government for the purpose of developing the space core technology. This is the first satellite development program executed at the level of university in Korea. The CubeSat project is to develop the satellite weighing less than 1 kg and provides opportunities with low construction, low launch cost space experiment platforms with shorter production cycles. The HAUSAT-1 project offers graduate and undergraduate students great opportunities to be able to understand the design process of satellite development and have practical experience as a team member. Its mission objectives are getting position data by the GPS receiver module, to deploy the thin film solar cell panel to generate extra power, and to conduct a radiation experiment on memory chips having different types of shielding material. The HAUSAT-1 will orbit at the altitude of 650 km with 65 degree inclination angle for 1 year of design mission life. The HAUSAT-1 plans to be launched in the early of 2004.
