This morning at 05.53 CET, an Indian PSLV rocket lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, 80 km North of Chennai, successfully releasing a total of ten multinational payloads into space. On board was RUBIN-8, a technology payload which Bremen-based space technology company OHB-System AG has developed and been using since 2000 for various orbital experiments.
The eighth RUBIN is being used to test an automatic identification system (AIS) for ships on behalf of the European Space Agency ESA. OHB-System and Luxembourg-based group member Luxspace Sarl are working on validating this and also the ensuing systems.
