On 05.07.2019 at 05:41:46 UTC, BEESAT-9 was launched into a
sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 530km with the launch provider
EXOLAUNCH on a Soyuz/Fregat rocket. At 10:06 UTC BEESAT-9 was ejected
from its launch container. About 30 minutes later, the first signals
were received over Berlin.

On July 15, 2019 representatives from different German universities
met the coordinator of aviation and space of the government Thomas
Jarzombek in the federal ministry for economic affairs and
energy.Together they founded the "Kleinsatelliteninitiative deutscher
Hochschulen und Universitäten".The initiative aims at increasing the
impact of small satellites at German universities and institutions of
higher education. TU Berlin is part of the initiative.

From 13 June 2019 to 17 June 2019, BEESAT-9 was successfully
checked out at the cosmodrome and finally integrated into the
deployer. The satellite launch is scheduled for July 5th, 2019 at
05:41:46 UTC into a sun-synchronous orbit at 530km altitude.

Berlin
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.

Berlin
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.

The S-Net Team of TU Berlin successfully conducted the final launch
readiness procedure of the four satellites at the Vostochny launch
site (Amur Oblast, Russia). The health status of the satellites has
been checked, last updates were installed and the integration on the
Fregat upper stage was prepared. The S-Net satellites are now ready
for the launch!

Early this year, team SEAR received funding for the further
development of the rover SEAR. Already in 2013, SEAR was designed and
built by students in scope of lecture courses, theses and a project
workshop to compete in the DLR SpaceBot Cup 2013. Based on the
experiences, substantial advancements in hard- and software could be
made.
In preparation for the SpaceBot Camp 2015, a qualification was
conducted in September in which the 10 participating teams had to
demonstrate certain functions of their systems. Team SEAR was one of
three teams who passed the qualification. During the SpaceBot Camp in
November, the rover demonstrated that it is able to fulfill all tasks
with partial autonomy.
