ARLA/CLUSTER: AMSAT-UK FUNcube-4 em testes finais com transponder 1260/145 MHz FM

ESEO student satellite to enter final test phase

The *European Student Earth Orbiter* (ESEO) satellite carries an AMSAT-UK
FUNcube-4 amateur radio 1260/145 MHz FM transponder.
On September 27 it successfully completed the vibrations test

In the past few years, ten student teams from different European
universities have combined forces to produce essential equipment for the
spacecraft, including subsystems parts, scientific or technology
demonstration instrumentation, and the ground mission control support for
this micro-satellite mission, planned to fly to Low Earth Orbit later this
year.

The project reached an important milestone on August 28, 2018, when the
assembly integration of the ESEO spacecraft was declared complete. In this
phase all the satellite’s physical parts were assembled together, and all
functional interconnections were checked to confirm they work as required.

On September 27, 2018 ESEO reached another key milestone, when it
successfully completed the vibrations test campaign at SITAEL’s premises in
Mola di Bari, Italy. ESEO has now demonstrated that its design is solid
enough to safely withstand the mechanical solicitations it will undergo
during the rocket launch.

In the next couple of weeks it will undergo the so-called thermal vacuum
and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests at ESA’s ESTEC site in the
Netherlands.
