TechEdSat-3, also
known as TechEdSat-3p, is a three-unit Cubesat, 30 by 10 by 10
centimeters in size and builds on the TechEdSat-1 payload that was
deployed from ISS in 2012. ThechEdSat-1 was designed to test the
basic satellite design, avionics, stabilization and communication
systems. This one-unit core satellite bus is essentially re-used on
TechEdSat-3p to provide the basic satellite functions such as
commanding, power generation & supply as well as communications
while the other 2 units of the satellite (2/3 of its volume) carry the
payload. TechEdSat-3 will fly an Exo-Brake to orbit that is deployed
once the satellite is released to demonstrate a Passive De-Orbit
System for satellites.
