CUAVA-2 Satellite reaches 1800 revolutions around the Earth. CUAVA, the Australian Research Training Centre for CubeSats, UAVs and their Applications led by the University of Sydney, is pleased to announce the CUAVA-2 satellite has now been in orbit for over 110 days, completing over 1800 revolutions around the Earth. Like its sister-satellite, Waratah Seed-1, the CUAVA-2 mission launched into orbit on 17 August 2024 (AEST) on the SpaceX Transporter 11 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base. It was then successfully deployed approximately 515 kilometres above the Earth about 55 minutes after launch. Since its release from the rocket, CUAVA-2 has been orbiting at over 7 kilometres per second. We established communications with CUAVA-2 during its first pass over Sydney, however unlike the WS-1 mission, CUAVA-2 experienced difficulties with the satellite’s first SD card failing around 5 days after launch, likely due to radiation from space weather. The satellite automatically booted its backup system and commissioning of the satellite is under way. CUAVA-2 carries payloads produced by CUAVA’s academic research teams and university-based start-ups. To read more about the payloads on board or download the Media Release, head to our website news https://lnkd.in/gi-GT4rS The CUAVA-2 mission is led by the ARC Training Centre for CubeSats, UAVs, and their Applications (CUAVA), with partners Australian Centre for Space Engineering Research (ACSER), UNSW Sydney. We thank all our partners and supporters without whom the CUAVA-2 mission could not have succeeded.

We're proud to celebrate the achievements of two researchers who have been awarded prestigious Royal Society of NSW Awards! Professor Nalini Joshi AO (Physical Sciences & Mathematics) has made groundbreaking contributions to the mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems; particularly, innovative methods involving transcendental functions and Painlevé equations. Professor Alex McBratney AO FAA (Agricultural & Environmental Science) has revolutionised soil science and agricultural practices, enhancing Australian agricultural productivity by at least $60 million annually and reducing environmental impact.

Congratulations to Professor Iver Cairns and all the ARC Training Centre for CubeSats, UAVs, and their Applications (CUAVA) team from the School of Physics, who are celebrating the success of the Waratah Seed-1 satellite mission. The University of Sydney -designed and built satellite has just marked a significant milestone, having been in orbit for 100 days and completing over 1500 revolutions around Earth.
Waratah Seed satellite - 100 Days in Orbit! The Waratah Seed-1 satellite has now been in orbit for over 100 days, completing over 1500 revolutions around the Earth. We’re celebrating this huge milestone with a look back at the highlights of our August 17th launch. Satellite communications with our ground stations have been successfully established, and commissioning of the payloads is underway, powering up systems and starting to receive data from the technology on board. Waratah Seed-1 carries the winners of the WS-1 Payload Competition, run in 2021 to support NSW based space-tech start-ups to demonstrate their technology in space. The satellite also carries payloads from our clients and partners, both academic and commercial. Built by CUAVA, the Australian Research Council Centre for CubeSats, UAVs and their Applications, the Waratah Seed mission is supported by the NSW Government through Investment NSW Pilot Space Qualification Mission Grant. Key stakeholders SmartSat CRC, SmartSat - NSW Node and SmartSat’s Aurora Space Cluster are providing co-funding for several payloads on the Waratah Seed WS-1 mission. Raytheon Australia contributed co-funding towards costs of joint first-prize winners, EurokaPower and Spiral Blue, flying on WS-1.
