After one and a half years of preparation, student experiment TUPEX-6 (TU Berlin Picosatellite Experiment 6) is close to the finish line. On the coming weekend, the small satellite developed by the international team will be ejected from a sounding rocket. During its time in the milligravity environment, the goal is to demonstrate an innovative attitude control system on board of their Free-falling Unit (FFU).

Just before its second anniversary on orbit, the CubeSat BEESAT-4 (1kg) of TU Berlin passes the minisatellite BIROS (140kg) of DLR. BEESAT-4 passed BIROS on September 5th 2018. The closest approach happened at 3:27pm UTC nearby the south pole. At that time the distance was around 3.7km. The flyby was used to demonstrate the 3-axes stabilized attitude control and point with the camera towards BIROS.

Recently students from the Chair of Space Technology were informed that their TU Berlin Picosatellite EXperiment 6 (TUPEX-6) has been granted a flight ticket for the REXUS 25/26 mission. REXUS (Rocket Experiment for University Students) is a joint program funded by the German, European, and Swedish space agencies as well as several companies. Starting in 2007, REXUS selects 8 to 10 student experiments per year to launch on 2 rockets. Fields of study include atmospheric research, physics, materials science, astrophysics, biology, and technology demonstration. The REXUS 25/26 mission is aiming to launch out of Esrange, Sweden in March of 2019.

4 Years, 8 months and 20 days after being launched to Low Earth Orbit researchers from Technische Universität Berlin could establish contact to the Picosatellite BEESAT-3 on Sunday, 7th of January 2018 for the first time since its launch. The satellite was commanded from Berlin and its telemetry and morsecode-beacon were received in the Netherlands by radio amateur Jan van Muijlwijk (PA3FXB) of the CAMRAS foundation using the 25m antenna of the Dwingeloo Radio Observatory.
