2022-23 WUSAT-4 Overview

As the first team in this new mission they clearly had a great deal to do to form the vital foundations for the Space Systems Methodology that would control the development of WUSAT-4 going forward.

Note that - at the outset - it was considered that WUSAT-4 would carry TWO payloads. This is reflected in the team video, etc.

• Beacon for Evaluation of Attitude and Position (BEAP) - Client: UK Launch ServicesLink opens in a new window
• Fluorescent Deep Space Petri Pod (FDSPP) - Clients: Prof Tim EtheridgeLink opens in a new window (University of Exeter) - Space Park LeicesterLink opens in a new window

However, it was determined early on that BEAP, being a concept device, would have provided too much work for the team to develop given that their brief was to complete the early design phases of a CubeSat to meet a known payload specification. Nevertheless, we were very grateful to UK Launch Services for the interest they showed and the time they gave to WUSAT.

Hence the 2022-23 team predominantly worked on early phase requirements analysis, etc, in order to determine early stage definitions of the WUSAT-4 platform and required resources.

The team also attended

• A European Space Agency training programme on Concurrent Engineering.
• A CubeSat training day at our partners, Airbus Defence & SpaceLink opens in a new window, Stevenage.
