Summary
LEMUR-2-VICTOR-ANDREW (NORAD_CAT_ID: 44087, OBJECT_ID: 2019-018K) is a 3U CubeSat satellite owned by SPIREL/SPIRE and manufactured by SPIREG. It was launched on April 1, 2019, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SRILR) using the PSLV-QL launch vehicle. The satellite measures 0.3 meters in length, has a diameter of 0.1 meters, and spans 0.3 meters. It weighs 4.6 kilograms both at launch and dry mass. Equipped with STRATOS for GPS radio occultation, SENSE for AIS-reception, and AirSafe for ASD-B payload operations, it relies on solar cells and batteries for power. The satellite's shape is described as a box with two panels and was launched on the same date it became stable in orbit.
