Planetum-1

A Czech nanosatellite on a mission to teach future rocket scientists and engineers based on Spacemanic’s platform. At the end of May 2022, the satellite was launched by Space X’s Falcon 9 rocket to Low Earth Orbit.

Planetum – a cluster of Prague observatories and planetariums, decided to launch their own CubeSat in their effort to promote science and teach young generations about the importance of science and space technologies. The communication with the satellite takes place via radio signals on amateur radio frequencies which allow radio amateurs to receive transmissions and data from the satellite.
