Abstract

DriveSat is a new CubeSat mission, initiated and led by the Asher Space Research Institute at the Technion. DriveSat aims to test low cost Cubesat orbit and attitude control techniques. The mission will demon- strate two new technologies: a miniaturized thruster and a cost-effective reaction wheel, both developed at the Technion. The DriveSat project will share resources with the Space Autonomous Mission for Swarming and Geo-locating Nanosatellites project. The DriveSat project will also serve as a platform for academic research and hands-on engineering edu- cation. Technion students are involved in the development of the new technologies, and in the future will operate the satellite.
