DOC-04 / APISAT
Development of the core polarimetric sensing technology — optical system design, polarization measurement architecture, data acquisition electronics, and processing algorithms. Prototypes are tested on airborne platforms to collect real polarimetric data and validate the sensing approach.
Following prototype validation, the instrument is redesigned as a CubeSat-compatible payload. Structural design, power and data interfaces, subsystem integration.
Assembly and testing under simulated launch and space conditions: vibration testing, thermal evaluation, functional verification.
Integration with a compatible CubeSat mission through collaboration with launch and satellite partners. Payload begins collecting polarimetric Earth observation data.
