The Mission

The objective of the S-Net mission is to investigate and demonstrate the inter-satellite communication technology within a distributed an autonomously operating nanosatellite network. As space born systems have become an essential element in facing global challenges such as climate change, disaster management and maritime systems monitoring, rapid response and low cost systems are in high demand.

A key technology to increase the operational efficiency of distributed satellite systems via formations or even autonomous swarms is the miniaturizing of intersatellite communication technology. In cooperation with IQ wireless GmbH, TU Berlin developed an S-band transceiver (SLink) [14] with 100 kbps crosslink and 1 Mbps downlink capability suitable for accommodation in nanosatellites.
