Adeployment sensor send telemetry data to <strong>the</strong> launcher: <strong>the</strong> switch is wired asa normally closed circuit and, when <strong>the</strong> door is open, <strong>the</strong> circuit opens. Thisguarantees that <strong>the</strong> door remains close until <strong>the</strong> <strong>CubeSat</strong>s are deployed.Currently negotiations are going on between <strong>the</strong> Educational Office and <strong>the</strong>POD suppliers: <strong>the</strong> final choice has’t been communicated yet but this doesn’tchange anything in <strong>the</strong> <strong>CubeSat</strong> development as both meet <strong>the</strong> same standard.Galli Stefania 62 University of Liège
