Summary
FLOCK 4V-25, also known as Flock 4v-25, is a CubeSat (3U) technology satellite manufactured by PLAN and owned by the same entity. It was launched on September 3, 2020, from the FRGUI site using the Vega launch vehicle at ZLV pad. The satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length, 0.1 meters in diameter, and a span of 0.3 meters. Its dry mass is 5.7 kilograms, which is identical to its launch mass. It is equipped with a Dove 240c payload that includes PS0, PS1 or PS2 imaging equipment. Power comes from solar cells and batteries. FLOCK 4V-25's shape consists of a box with two panels and it has no motor, except for those in the #Flock-3p' variant which use FEEP (Field-Emission Electric Propulsion). The satellite is expected to operate for about one year in an International Space Station orbit or between 2 to 3 years in Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO).
