Summary
The FLOCK 4Y-4 satellite, also known as Flock 4y-4, is a CubeSat (3U) configuration launched by PLAN on January 3, 2023, from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station using a Falcon 9 launch vehicle. This technology mission satellite has dimensions of 0.3 meters in length and diameter, with a span of 0.3 meters. It operates primarily in an ISS orbit for approximately one year or in a Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO) for 2-3 years. Equipped with PS0, PS1, or PS2 imaging payload technology under the Dove 24b0 series, it is powered by solar cells and batteries. FLOCK 4Y-4 features a box shape with two panels and has no motor propulsion except in some configurations (FEEP #Flock-3p'), indicating its design for Earth observation purposes.
