Mission Details

Pujian 1

Pujian 1 is a Chinese technology demonstration satellite.

Pujian 1 is to demonstrate miniaturized satellite components like heat transfer pumps and microprocessors. It utilizes standardized "plug-n-play" payload interfaces able to carry a wide range of onboard instruments. Additionally, it has temperature sensors onboard that use WiFi to transmit data within the satellite. It features a 3D-printed Titanium antenna structure.

Total Mass: 301.0 kg
Sun-Synchronous Orbit

Shankeda 2

Shankeda 2 is a 2U-CubeSat in the TW 1 (Tianwang) constellation consisting of three CubeSats for space networking experiments.

Three satellites, Shangkeda 2, NJUST 2, and NJFA 1, are part of the constellation, which was developed at the Shanghai Engineering Center for Microsatellites (SECM) in collaboration with Nanjing University of Science and Technology (NJUST), GomSpace from Denmark, Tekever Space from Portugal and NanoSpace from Sweden.

Shankeda 2 was developed and built at the Shanghai Engineering Center for Microsatellites (SECM).

The three satellites will test inter-satellite communication sessions using the GAMALINK technology developed by Tekever.
