Abstract
The KUTESat Program tests miniature technologies using pi co-class (one kg) satellites. The program consists of three phases involving two satellite missions in low Earth orbit and an engineering prototype using an aircraft. A balloonsat system tests components of the satellites in flights to the near-space conditions of about 30 km altitude. The first phase's objective is to develop and operate a simple pico-satellite and is scheduled for launch on a Onepr rocket in 2004. The fmal phase has three autonomous satellites fly simultaneously. One is an inspector, another senses space environment, and the third is a target and relay satellite.
