GOMX4-A is a 6U CubeSat with the objective to demonstrate key technologies to handle large satellite formations. GOMX4-A is sponsored by DALO who by this mission will have their first satellite intended to contribute to surveillance of the Arctic. The GOMX4-A demonstration is part of an analysis seeking to identify best-practice and future efforts reinforcing the Danish Defense's surveillance of the Arctic within the Kingdom. The satellite has been named "Ulloriaq" after the word "star" in the Greenlandic language. GOMX-4A and GOMX-4B will test intersatellite link technology, routing data from one satellite to the other, then down to the ground station. Part of the ground testing ensured they could indeed talk to each other and the actual ground station on an end-to-end basis.
