Description | Plan-S's new 4 satellites for Connecta IoT Network, continue to push the boundaries of global connectivity innovation. Building on the successes of their predecessors, these satellites incorporate a host of new and validated features that reinforce Plan-S's commitment to cutting-edge technology and reliable performance. Within their compact 6U design, they operate in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The Electrical Power System (EPS), On-Board Computer (OBC), Telemetry & Telecommand (TMTC) transceiver, and all antenna, software and link designs, rigorously verified in the Connecta T3.1 and Connecta T3.2 satellites, ensure a solid foundation for the Connecta IoT Network. Introducing new advancements, the High-Speed Transceiver and Software Defined Radios for Gateway-to-Satellite (G2S) and Direct-to-Satellite (D2S) links, represent a leap forward in satellite communication and performance. The design of the solar panels, validated across all previous satellites, continues to provide optimal power efficiency. Launched by SpaceX in Transporter-11 mission, they showcase three unique communication links in control and data levels: for Inter-Satellite Link (ISL), High-Speed Data Link and TM/TC link. |
