Abstract

This paper presents the orbital mission analysis of BeEagleSat, one of the participants of QB50 project, double unit CubeSat of Istanbul Technical University and Turkish Air Force Academy. The BeEagleSat will gather science data in the upper layers of the troposphere in the altitude range between 380 km and 200 km. Starting with the proposed launch parameters and restrictions of the project, simulations have been carried out in order to obtain the lifetime, communication ability and sunlight duration of BeEagleSat. The analysis shows that BeEagleSat is able to satisfy the project requirements.
