BeeSat (Berlin Experimental and Educational Satellite) is a pico satellite project of the Technical University of Berlin. The main objective of BeeSat is the on orbit verification of newly developed micro reaction wheels for pico satellite applications.
BeeSat will demonstrate the use of coin sized micro reaction wheels for attitude control of pico satellites in orbit as one of the key elements on which TU Berlin is currently working. Further missions with a focus on other key technologies are planed for the future.
