Kitsat has been designed for use at the schools, science centres and space-related educational organisations, but also individual hobbyists can find it interesting.
Kitsat is a fully functional one unit CubeSat, specifically made for educational use with earthly components, which make the purchase price affordable.
It can be assembled and dismantled easily. The parts are robust, clearly marked and interchangable.
The satellite is delivered with a small ground station that connects via USB to a computer. It communicates with the satellite on a radio amateur frequency used also with “real” CubeSats.
Also the command and control of the satellite happens as in the real space business: the satellite works just like a CubeSat.
Kitsat satellites, ground stations and accessories are proudly designed and artisanally assembled in Finland.
