title = "Overview of Alainsat-1 Mission: A Remote Sensing Student Nanosatellite",
abstract = "AlainSat-1 is an educational and scientific nanosatellite project that was initiated in late 2019 by the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (GRSS) along with National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) of UAE University in the frame of the 2nd Student Grand Challenge [1]. The project involves close collaboration between four international universities to design, build, test and launch a remote sensing CubeSat.The spacecraft is a 3U CubeSat that has a mass of around 4 Kgs. The spacecraft has an active 3-axis control system capable of attitude determination and control to less than one degree. Two communications systems will be used on-board: a UHF System and an S-Band System. The project has passed the Critical Design Review (CDR) stage and is currently in the assembly and integration phase. The satellite is currently planned for launch to a sun-synchronous orbit on-board a Falcon 9 rocket in the second quarter of 2024.",
