Details. "The PolyITAN-HP-30 nanosatellite was created by scientists of the National Technical University of Ukraine 'Ihor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute' exclusively with budget funds provided by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine within the framework of the implementation of the respective winning projects of scientific research and development competitions and the basic financing agreement," the statement says.
After the launch into the planned orbit, the nanosatellite will ensure the implementation of a scientific experiment to study the effectiveness of the functioning of heat pipes of various designs as the main element of the thermal stabilisation systems of space vehicles.
The delivery of the PolyITAN-HP-30 nanosatellite to the United States of America for its launch into Earth orbit was made possible thanks to the sponsorship of Boeing Ukraine, the support of Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) and the State Space Agency of Ukraine.
The live broadcast of the launch of 114 payload units into Earth orbit as part of the Transporter 6 mission from Cape Canaveral will begin on the official YouTube channel of Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute at 4 p.m. Kyiv time on January 3, 2023. The launch of the launch vehicle should take place at 16:56 Kyiv time.
