Description of UWE-2 Satellite:

These spacecraft are four cubesats each with a mass of 1 kg and intended for technology demonstrations. They were launched as secondary payloads on an Indian PSLV rocket from Sriharikota on 23 September 2009 at 06:21 UT. UWE 2, a German cubesat, is intended to demonstrate a new Attitude Determination and Control System and the use of GPS on a cubesat; BeeSat, a German cubesat, will verify the behavior of new micro reaction wheels for picosatellites. ITU-pSAT1, a Turkish cubesat, will examine the performance of an on-board passive stability system it will also carry a camera. SwissCube, a Swiss cubesat, will take optical airglow measurements validating the use of low-cost off-the-shelf detectors for these observations.
