The Young Professional Satellite – From Earth to Orbit (episode 3)
In this last episode of the Young Professional Satellite docu series, we follow the team’s last steps to make their dream come true: sending their satellite to space.
After securing the crucial final assembly and battery connection, we take you inside the thermal vacuum tests (TVAC) to see how YPSat is tested under the extreme temperatures of space; through vibration tests to ensure its structural integrity during launch; and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests to prevent interference with the launcher’s systems.
As we approach the European Space Agency’s traditional Flight Acceptance Review, the satellite is officially certified for flight. With the integration complete and final battery charge applied, control is handed over to the rocket. The only task left for the teams on the ground is to analyse one last time the rocket’s trajectory and await the critical first signal.
As tension builds up on launch day, watch as the team retrieves YPSat’s data and decodes breathtaking images and videos from its mission.

Salve volevo porre una domanda? L'esa utilizza i satelitti per fini civili ma possono gli stessi essere utilizzati per fini militari?
