On the 17th of August 2021, at 03:47 CEST, C3S’s 3U-sized satellite platform was successfully launched into Low Earth Orbit.
Since the launch by Arianespace Vega VV19 rocket we were able to establish a connection with Radcube, so a little time after the separation, we caught the beacon indicating our 3U CubeSat platform is ready for commissioning and has all the potential to accomplish the RadCube mission.
Our Mission Operation Center happily reported that our 3U CubeSat platform had also spread its wings.
