Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of aerospace applications, and relates to a mobile phone satellite structure, in particular to a foldable mobile phone satellite structure. Background technique
[0002] Mobile satellites refer to the direct use of smartphone components to assemble low-cost micro-satellites. Mobile satellites will open up a new field and leverage non-aerospace hardware and software to enter the space field.
[0003] At present, many institutions, including NASA of the United States and SSTL of the United Kingdom, have carried out research on mobile phone satellites.
[0004] In order to verify whether the processor of the mobile phone can work in space, Surrey Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. of the United Kingdom loaded a modified Nexus-one smartphone on its STRaND-1 satellite launched in 2013. Although this task was unsuccessful, But STRaND-1 is still being called the world's first mobile phone satellite in orbit.
