BeEagleSat is a 2U QB50-TR01, from Istanbul Tech U. and the Turkish AF Academy.
BEEAGLESAT is a 2U CubeSat launched within the EU FP7 project QB 50, manufactured by Istanbul Technical University and Turkish Air Force Academy. The X-ray detector utilizes cross strip geometry to test the detection system in space, but it does not carry a mask for imaging. The readout is established by an application specific integrated circuit controlled by a microcontroller. The system has its own battery and is turned on intermittently due to power and telemetry constraints. The satellite measures the hard X-ray background in 20-150 keV at low Earth orbit conditions as a function of altitude. As a payload for QB50, the satellite carries a multineedle Langmuir probe (mNLP) sampling the electron density of the space around it.
