The Second Separated 'KAIST Cube Satellite' of Nuriho... First Signal Reception Success
[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Tae-min] The CubeSat from the KAIST team, which was the second to separate and enter orbit aboard the Korean launch vehicle Nuriho, has successfully made its first communication with the ground station.
The Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT) and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) announced that at around 3:42 a.m. this morning, the KAIST ground station in Daejeon received the first beacon signal from the CubeSat 'RANDEV'.
The research team received the beacon signal more than ten times at 20-second intervals through the ground station, and based on the status information included in the signal, confirmed that the satellite's voltage and temperature were all normal.
The solar panels and antenna were deployed normally, and it was confirmed that the voltage and temperature of various subsystems such as the antenna temperature and battery were all within normal ranges.
The next scheduled communication times for RANDEV are 3:35 p.m. and 5:13 p.m. today. At these times, a command for angular velocity (the angle rotated per unit time by a rotating object) damping mode will be sent to control the attitude of the CubeSat.
