Summary

FLOCK 3P-58 is a CubeSat (3U) satellite manufactured by PLAN and owned by the same entity. It was launched on February 15, 2017, from SRILR using a PSLV-XL launch vehicle. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length and has a span of 0.3 meters with a diameter of 0.1 meters. Its dry mass is 4.7 kilograms, which is the same as its launch mass. It carries an imaging payload designated PS0, PS1 or PS2 and uses solar cells along with batteries for power. FLOCK 3P-58 operates in a technology demonstration mission, equipped with no motor (except FEEP #Flock-3p'), and it has an estimated lifetime of about 1 year when placed in the ISS orbit but can last 2 to 3 years if positioned in SSO.
