Reaktor Hello World is a modular 2U-CubeSat mission built by Reaktor Space Lab Ltd. to demonstrate a novel infrared hyperspectral imager and the Hello World platform for future LEO and deep space missions.

The objectives of the mission are:

  • The satellite will provide a beacon and telemetry data for which amateur satellite users and ham radio users will be able to receive.
  • Test the capabilities of reusable flight platform, which consists of radio module, onboard computer, Power Supply Unit, ADCS (Attitude
  • Determination and Control System), Antenna deployment system.
  • Test the reliability of high performance industrial grade multicore SoC payload computer (Application Processing unit) with linux.
  • Test the ability to make OTA-updates to the Application Processing Unit.
  • Take and transmit pictures on request to the ground.
  • Lower the barrier of creating software to space by increasing the abstraction level.
