The Egyptian satellite SPNEX enters its orbit and begins transmitting its first signals
The Egyptian Space Agency announced the successful launch of the Egyptian satellite SPNEX last Wednesday, entering its designated orbit, and beginning to transmit its first signals.
The launch of SPNEX comes within the nano-satellite development programs, and is a confirmation of the ability of national competencies to implement integrated space systems, starting from design and manufacturing, through assembly, integration and testing processes, all the way to actual operation in orbit.
The SPNEX satellite represents a scientific laboratory orbiting in space, developed within the framework of cooperation between the Egyptian Space Agency and the Research Academy. Scientific and technology.
The moon specializes in measuring the properties of plasma in the layers of the ionosphere, which contributes to supporting scientific studies related to the effects of solar and magnetic storms, building accurate models of the properties of the ionosphere, and supporting climate research.
The moon has been completely developed within the Egyptian Space Agency’s laboratories since the first quarter of 2022, with all assembly, integration and testing operations being carried out within the agency’s AIT Center in the Egyptian Space City.
The moon’s data is scheduled to be made available. SPNEX will soon be available to researchers at Egyptian universities and research centers, in support of scientific research and space applications.
