ALEASAT Test Opportunity tests the limits of 1U CubeSat

ALEASAT – a 1U CubeSat Project built in collaboration of UBC (University of British Columbia) and the SFU (Simon Fraser University) Satellite Design Team – was selected for the February 2024 test window of the Fly Your Satellite! Test Opportunities. Following their selection, they successfully and participated to an extensive vibration test campaign from February 19th to 23rd, 2024, at the CubeSat Support Facility located at ESEC Redu, Belgium. The purpose of this campaign was to subject their CubeSat Engineering Model to mechanical loads to ensure its survival during the harsh environment of the launch phase. This campaign was a crucial milestone towards the Team's goal of launching a 1U CubeSat in the next years. A unique experience that enhanced their engineering skills and enthusiasm for space engineering.
