Mission plan

After 7 days from separation the experimental stage will begin. The first one will be the test of Sun Sensor. After taking some photographs the Sun Sensor will be tested again. Finally - on the 39th day - the deorbit sail will be deployed. Should something go wrong, the deorbit sail emergency relase would occur on the 40th day. pwsat2_mission
