Presentation

Based on the 12U platform, Pandore provides a solution for in-orbit validation and demonstration (IOV/IOD) of new technologies.

The various partners in this project—French industrial companies—provided equipment and payloads that U-space integrated and tested in its U-zine prior to the satellite’s launch.

The various technology demonstrations are:

– A high-current pulse generation system (PLCU) by Microtec,

– A system complementary to navigation systems (GNSS: GALILEO; GPS) to provide synchronization functions when GNSS navigation signals are unavailable (Synchrocube) by Safran, combined with a mission-specific antenna developed by Anywaves,

– An electric propulsion system for nanosatellites (PJP30) by COMAT,

– Reaction wheels for nanosatellites (RW20) by COMAT,

– A software system for satellite Guidance, Navigation, and Control developed by U-space.

U-Space, as the supplier of the nanosatellite platform, played a key role in coordinating all these external and internal activities to successfully complete this in-orbit demonstration project.

Solutions offered

Multi tech demonstration

Our 12U Cubesat incorporated several payloads for this first mission (showcasing our multi-mission capacity with a single platform)

First LEO-PNT mission (in Europe)

PANDORE is Europe’s first LEO-PNT satellite, giving U-Space a unique Know-how and flight heritage in that regard

Prime positionning

Perfectly representing our offering, PANDORE is a complete delivery where U-Space is acting as Prime: Design studies, manufacture, testing and integration, support for launch and ongoing satellite operations

Over 6 months of demonstration data

Every day, U-space provides the TMs for each team/payload to its partners, who analyze the system’s performance.
The U-space ground segment resources are used and interface with partners to retrieve the TMs and view the mission planning.
