Abstract
The research and education program UNISAT was established at Scuola di Ingegneria Aerospaziale of Università di Roma “La Sapienza” by the research group GAUSS (Gruppo di Astrodinamica dell’Università degli Studi “la Sapienza”). The main goal of the program is to provide “hands-on education”, where the students can complete their education by practicing on a real, even if small, space program. The paper describes the launch and tests campaign of UNISAT-3, launched on June 29th 2004. The satellite has been designed, integrated, tested at the Laboratorio di Astrodinamica of Università degli Studi “la Sapienza” and currently operated in orbit by the students, assisted by University staff. This microsatellite is suitable for navigation experiments in orbit.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
