ZA-Aerosat

ZA-AeroSat monitors the upper layers of the atmosphere to gather essential scientific data on the density and composition of the thermosphere. This research satellite specifically tests an innovative passive aerodynamic stabilization method using four feather-like communication antennas to maintain its orbital orientation. Its participation in the global QB50 mission reinforces the importance of academic and industrial collaboration in advancing low-cost space exploration technology.
