Ireland’s first satellite will be launched by SpaceX

Ireland plans to launch its first satellite with the help of SpaceX.

According to Tekna technology news service, Ireland’s first spacecraft will soon be able to perform its astronomical operations with the help of gamma rays. This satellite, which is called the Irish Educational Research Satellite EIRSAT-1, was developed by students of the University College Dublin and belongs to the European Space Agency satellite program.

The construction of this tesserae began during a project in 2017, and the purpose of its construction is to study powerful gamma ray bursts. Its main payload module will also evaluate new oxide thermal coatings on satellites and will also unveil and test a new spacecraft control system called wave-based control.

The head of the European Space Agency’s Academy, Joost van Rossel, says about this satellite: University College Dublin, with great expertise in the fields of space science and astrophysics, has been able to solve one of the most important challenges of a very complex engineering project. According to him, this project is a combination of university scientific expertise and the experience and expertise of the European Space Agency, which has made it very attractive and has allowed students to cooperate with the experts of the European Space Agency in the development of satellites. This satellite is supposed to be sent into space as a joint cargo with the help of the Falcon 9 rocket at the end of November.
