ALMASat-1 is a 12.5 kg technology demonstration microsatellite developed and built by the University of Bologne. The 30 cm cube is a modular structure that can be used for various technology demonstration or Earth observation missions. The main objective of this first mission is to test the key performance of this low-cost multipurpose bus to prepare for future missions, such as 3-axis pointing accuracy.
