CubeSat Project With MINES ParisTech

Preliminary CAD Model of ThermoCS
by MINES ParisTech

White Label Space GLXP team has teamed up with MINES ParisTech, one  on their new CubeSat project, ThermoCS.

MINES ParisTech, also known as École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris, is one of France's most prestigious engineering schools and provides post graduate education to some of France's top university students (see more information here).

The CubeSat is planned to contribute to the QB50 project, a constellation of 50 nanosatellites organized by the European Commission.

White Label Space will provide a secondary payload as part of its GLXP mission developments. The primary payload on the CubeSat will be the standard QB50 sensor suite designed to study the physical phenomena in the lower thermosphere, the of space and upper atmosphere in the  90-320km altitude range.

Seeking Partners for QB50 CubeSat Mission

White Label Space is looking for partners to participate in a project to build a CubeSat for the QB50 Project.

QB50 is a European Commission project to create an international network of 50 CubeSats for multi-point, in-situ measurements in the lower thermosphere and re-entry.

The WLS QB50 CubeSat will be 2 units in size (i.e. 20 x 10 x 10 cm) and, aside from the primary payload for scientific measurements, will also include a small payload related to the team's Google Lunar X PRIZE mission. The payload has not been determined yet and the team is looking for ideas.

White Label Space is particularly interested in partnering with one or more universities that would like to host the integration facility. Other organizations or individuals with CubeSat experience are also very welcome to respond.

Please send an email to system@whitelabelspace.com if you would like to contribute to this exciting and challenging mission, or if you have a good idea for a payload.
