Mission
BayersnSat is a technology demonstrator small satellite being developed by the Institute of Astronautics of the Technische Universität München. The satellite is basically a 45cm x 45cm x 45cm cube weighting around 50kg.

The mission goal is the demonstration of new technology: telepresence, highly efficient solar cells (Penta-Junction, 34% efficiency), on-board high performance computing (a silicon-on-insulator computer and a parallel processor architecture), high-resolution colour video camera, as well as a number of low-cost systems that will provide desirable cost/performance ratio.

Case Study
Active Space Technologies is contributing to the development of the BayernSat, having already performed the preliminary system level thermal design, modeling and analysis of the satellite.
