PW-Sat2

PW-Sat2 is the second Polish student satellite project with the aim to test the new deorbit sail.

Przedwczoraj 23 lutego 2021 PW-Sat2 wykonał swoją misję - tj. zdeorbitował i spłonął w atmosferze Ziemi. W ciągu 813 dni na orbicie podczas ponad 5000 sesji komunikacyjnych wykonaliśmy około 1500 zdjęć.
Dziękujemy wszystkim za wsparcie!

If you haven't heard yet - PW-Sat2 is no longer on orbit and decayed on Feb 23, 2021.
It's been a ride! Thanks to all the #hamradio community for your support.

@PWSat2 deorbitation progress from last 6 months (📅Aug 2020 and Jan 2021)📉Currently #orbiting at altitude of c.a. 420 km. 🛰️

#Decay predicted for Feb 2021! More data: https://t.co/Pk0qp9W1lY

Looks like a #space roller coaster! Check out our latest timelapse from #orbit - at the very end of the @PWSat2 mission! 🛰️ #cubesat #sail #deorbit #dragsail

Mijają dwa lata od umieszczenia na orbicie polskiego satelity studenckiego @PWSat2.🚀#Satelita jest o krok od zakończenia misji i spłonięcia w atmosferze ziemskiej, co powinno nastąpić za około dwa miesiące.

While the drag sail experiment is progressing well, we’re still increasing mission return. Last month, together with @labs_kp team, we successfully uploaded to PW-Sat2 the next-generation flight software called Little Oryx. Read more: https://t.co/XvCSdszBPE

Over 3⃣0⃣ km of orbital decay caused by the drag sail to date. Follow the progress on https://t.co/RKBX30Z2WL🛰️ #cubesat #space #spacedebris #deorbitsail #dragsail

PW-Sat2 is still working correctly after almost 300 days in orbit. This weekend we took another photos. You can see the shadow of the satellite as well as the spring on the deorbit sail.

Zespół @PWSat2 @WydzialMEiL ma kosmiczne osiągnięcia! To już wiemy. A co słychać u Inny Uwarowej, której pasja sięga gwiazd? W artykule dzisiejszej @gazeta_wyborcza obszerny materiał o satelicie @PW_edu i kobietach w męskim towarzystwie https://t.co/UdCH14CQvw

It's getting cold up there!❄️To prevent batteries from low-temperature damage, electrical power system or #EPS, had to turn on on-board heaters for the first time! 🌡️ #cubesat #nanosatellite #LEO #orbit

Jednym z większych zagrożeń dla satelitów jest #promieniowanie #kosmiczne. Dowiedz się więcej o naszym eksperymencie, którego celem jest badanie dawki pochłoniętej promieniowania kosmicznego: https://t.co/dmntNCDOJU ☢️ #satelita #cubesat

[PW-Sat2 @PWSat2]

@WarGamerJustice Still not sure at 100% but most probably thermal cycling caused strong mechanical stress leading to tears/ruptures.

Last week activities were dedicated to our main #experiment - #deorbit #sail. Hi-res image sequences help us to better understand in #orbit behavior of the sail. More views: https://t.co/el8SJtk5iw #cubesat #satellite #Earth #orbit

Just turned on the Sun Sensor Experiment for the longest period to date! ☀️ Our experimental and off the shelf reference Sun sensors are remaining active for next 8 hours. Later we'll transfer all data to the ground for analysis. 📡 #space #cubesat #nanosatellite #LEO
