Summary
FLOCK 2P-10 is a CubeSat (3U) satellite manufactured by PLAN and owned by PLAN. It was launched on June 22, 2016, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre using a PSLV-XL launch vehicle. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and diameter, with a span of 0.3 meters, and it weighs 4.7 kilograms both at launch and dry mass. It is equipped with PS0, PS1 or PS2 imaging payload as part of its Dove 0E2F mission, which focuses on technology and Earth observation. The satellite's power system consists of solar cells and batteries. Its operational lifetime is estimated to be about one year when in the International Space Station orbit, but can extend up to two to three years if placed in a Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO).
