FloripaSat-2 is a mission composed of two nanosatellites, FloripaSat-2A and FloripaSat-2B, developed under the FloripaSat-2 platform to validate a Brazilian CubeSat architecture created at SpaceLab/UFSC.
FloripaSat-2A is a 1U CubeSat, and FloripaSat-2B is a 2U CubeSat. Both satellites include their own power-management, onboard processing, and communication subsystems, operating in commercial frequency bands.
The mission will also demonstrate a low-power LoRa inter-satellite communication link between the two spacecraft, an important capability for SpaceLab’s future distributed missions, such as the Catarina Constellation.
Both satellites will be launched from the Alcântara Space Center (CLA) during the Spaceward 2025 mission, aboard the HANBIT-TLV commercial launch vehicle developed by INNOSPACE. They will be placed into a 300 km low Earth orbit, where their subsystems and communication experiments will be validated in space.
