Summary
The ONDOSAT-OWL-5 satellite is a 0.05 meter diameter CubeSat designed for IoT communication services. It was launched on December 21, 2024, as part of ONDO Space's initiative to expand its satellite services in areas without terrestrial network coverage. The satellite is equipped with a LoRa transceiver and solar panels to power its systems.
The ONDOSAT-OWL-5 has a dry mass of 0.25 kilograms and is designed for a mission duration of approximately one year. It uses passive magnetic stabilization for attitude control and has a power system equipped with batteries and solar panels to sustain its communication systems. The satellite's transmitter frequency is 400.160 MHz.
The ONDOSAT-OWL-5 is part of the ONDOSAT-OWL constellation, which includes several other satellites designed for IoT communication services. Its primary mission is to provide real-time tracking of livestock and monitoring of long-distance transportation in areas without terrestrial network coverage.
