CASSINI

The Cassini mission will test new space technologies using three 6UXL satellites. Each satellite hosts multiple experiments from leading European organizations, enabling key advancements in satellite technology, propulsion, and communication. Equipped with deployable solar panels, UHF/VHF communications, and S-band downlink for payload data, the satellites ensure optimal power and data transfer for onboard experiments. With an initial one-year mission lifetime and a potential extension, the Cassini mission plays a crucial role in Europe’s space innovation efforts.
