Our balloon launch is a stratospheric flight that will ascend to an altitude of approximately 30 km in October 2025 from the province of Seville. The gondola will carry a functional model (engineering model) of our future CubeSat and a package of environmental sensors. During the ascent, parachute descent, and ground recovery, temperatures of -60\u00b0C, near-vacuum pressures, and high levels of UV radiation will be measured, replicating the quasi-space conditions in which the orbital satellite will operate. All data will be transmitted in real time via radio communications (LoRA) to a ground station and recorded in the onboard memory for later analysis.<\/p>\n
Program<\/p>\n
FyCUS invites you to experience, in three chapters, an authentic journey into the stratosphere:<\/p>\n
Mission Briefing
\nInformative talk at ETSI where we will present the engineering of our CubeSat 1 U, the environmental sensors that will travel on board, and the scientific objectives of the flight.<\/p>\n
Stratospheric Launch
\nTakeoff of a sounding balloon from the Seville countryside that will reach 30 km. The public will be able to follow it live, in person and via streaming.<\/p>\n
Data, Science, and Return
\nInformative talk where we will open the recorded data, explain how a quasi-space environment is analyzed, and show the impact on the design of the future orbital CubeSat.<\/p>\n
Three milestones, one experience: discover how a satellite is tested in our own atmosphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
