Preparation and Launch of the 6U CubeSat EIVE

The continuously growing need for higher data rates as well as globally available broadband internet requires innovative technology developments and the exploitation of new microwave spectrums. Within the scope of R&D projects funded by the German Aerospace Centre, researchers at the University of Stuttgart together with industrial partners have developed a high-performance technology platform to exploit the frequency spectrum in the so-called e-Band at 71-86 GHz.
