AmbaSat Newsletter – Q1 2024
Welcome to the AmbaSat Newsletter – Q1 2024
Greetings AmbaSat Community,
We’ve kicked off the year with a flurry of activity, marked by successful exhibitions and interviews. Significant advancements have been made in both the hardware and software components of the AmbaSat CubeSat, paralleled by steady progress towards securing our orbital license. Dive into the details below to discover more about our recent achievements and what lies ahead at AmbaSat.
New Hardware
Starting with our hardware advancements, we’ve successfully integrated the initial version of our Flight Computer into the main CubeSat assembly. This setup now includes fully operational Flight Trays and is equipped with onboard AmbaSats, ensuring robust functionality and enhanced performance in space operations.
Exhibiting in Singapore at GSTC
Global Space and Technology Convention (GSTC), Singapore
This February, we had the pleasure of participating in GSTC in Singapore, where we engaged with both new and existing customers. It was a productive event for us, reinforcing AmbaSat’s role in leading the transformation of CubeSat technology with our Modular Payload System. This system is integral to our strategy, supported by funding from the European Space Agency (ESA) Business Incubation Centre and SparkFund.
Media Interviews
Earlier in the year we participated in interviews with the Satellite Applications Catapult to share updates on ongoing projects and present our experiences in working with the Satellite Applications Catapult – all very positive!
Education & NVIS
The New Voices in Space Initiative (NVIS) with Space Scotland continues to progress and the feedback we are receiving has been incredibly positive. We continue to improve and enhance the course to ensure we provide students with the best experience and inspire their journey to pursue careers in the Space Industry.
Partnership and Innovation
AmbaSat continues to offer partnerships that leverage our advanced Modular Payload System. Our partnerships are designed to foster collaboration and innovation, providing businesses, educational institutions, and scientific projects with cost-effective access to space.
Regulatory Milestones
We are making steady progress in our licensing efforts and have recently completed the CONOPS documentation required for our operations.
Upcoming Events and Engagements
Looking ahead, AmbaSat will be exhibiting later this year:
In early June, we’ll be at the North East Space Conference:
Northeast Space Conference
Later in June, we’ll be exhibiting at Ignite Space in Leeds:
Ignite Space
We’ll also be attending MACC24 at Machrihanish and hope to be launching some High-Altitude Balloons (HAB) and some rockets! Watch this space for more details.
AmbaSat Network
We are pleased to announce the launch of the AmbaSat Groundstation, this replaces ‘The Things Network’ (TTN) Gateways. However, for those still using TTN the two systems run side by side. The new AmbaSat gateway allows us enhanced control over our network and is fully compatible with the AmbaSat System.
Stay Connected
We look forward to another productive quarter and invite you to keep up with our developments. Your continued support is crucial as we expand our reach and capabilities in the space sector.
