IslesNet Discussion (TWI Only)

So, we are here to discuss what CubeSat your nation would sending.

Code: Select all


[b]Satellite Name:[/b] The name of your CubeSat

[b]Institute:[/b] The university selected by your gov's space agency to build the CubeSat

[b]Country:[/b] Duh...You

[b]Launch:[/b] The thing that will propel your CubeSat to the stars (nah...just the Earth's thermosphere). As far as I know, Alteran Republics, Corindia and Polar Svalbard are the only space capable nation right now with launch vehicles. Alesini, Bhumidol and Covonant are former TWI nations that I used ICly to shoot my load into space.

[b]Size:[/b] Not in kg...2U and 3U is preferred for IslesNet project

[b]IslesNet Sensor:[/b] Choose one of the following

Set 1

Ion-Neutral Mass Spectrometer (INMS)

Thermistors/thermocouples/RTD (TH)

Set 2

Flux-Φ-Probe Experiment (FIPEX)

Thermistors/thermocouples/RTD (TH)

Set 3

multi-Needle Langmuir Probe (m-NLP)

Thermistors/thermocouples/RTD (TH)



BTW, while I say that each nation is allowed only one CubeSat, the Yeti-2 is an In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) and does not have IslesNet sensors mentioned above. AMCube-3 on the other hand uses Flux-Φ-Probe Experiment (FIPEX). Hence the reason why AM has two CubeSats here.

[Athara Magarat]

1U is equivalent to 1.33 kg.

CubeSats range from 1U to 6U. But like I said, 2U and 3U CubeSats are preferred for IslesNet project.

Why CubeSats?

Main reason is CubeSats are cheap and can be used by even nations that don't have their own space capabilities. Just pay a few bucks (or sign some research agreement) to send these small items into space by cooperating with the bigger guns.

Nations as diverse and Finland and Chile and Ghana have their own CubeSats. Nepal, one of the poorest countries in Asia, is considering its own CubeSat in near future.

Cool.

And please consider one of the stated sensors (those are RL terms for said sensors).

I have a question. Did you launch this yourself?

[Athara Magarat]

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1005119

Atri-Rosa One or Two can launch the satellites from Reckoning Space Centre, Altera.

[San Molossia]

Yes, I launched it on my own. I have been designing rockets to launch for a while, and have launched two satellites, so I used those same rockets to launch my CubeSat.

[Athara Magarat]

That's cool. And I see you have dispatch on that...

But how much is Ç59,500? You do know our per capita income limit is 30,000 right?

[San Molossia]

Sorry! I didn't see that, I'll change it quickly

[Athara Magarat]

:shock: Sorry! I didn't see that, I'll change it quickly

That's okay. I am glad you will tone down the numbers

[San Molossia]

What currency is the 30,000 in? I changed my GDP per capita to Ç29,500

[Athara Magarat]

USD.
