GAUSS and its CastelGAUSS Space Debris Observatory were mentioned in the blog of ESA - European Space Agency about their plan to transition to a space circular economy, ensuring in-orbit servicing of future space platforms, avoiding further space debris and reusing what is already present in orbit, as valuable building blocks for next-gen human bases.
Recycle it!
First steps to ESA's plan for Recycling in Space thanks to CastelGAUSS Observatory The European Space Agency is employing CastelGAUSS Space Debris Observatory to progress with its plan to begin recycling in space.

We are glad to introduce a new subsystem developed for Small Satellite missions: the GAUSS PCDU!
Built for standard, It is a designed to power, control and monitor payloads onboard a satellite, and it can provide power up to 50W per channel!
It has been tested in TVAC and now it is under testing onboard .

Have you ever seen a satellite flying?
This is on March 4th, just moments before its integration on the Fregat vehicle, while fixed to the Baikonur hangar crane.
You can see the separation system already attached to the bottom of the satellite.
Most RBFs had already been removed, some were still in place to protect the most sensitive components.

T-10 hours to the Soyuz liftoff (06:07:12 UTC) that will release in orbit.
The satellite will be deployed from the Fregat vehicle approximately four hours since the GO-inertial, after the CAS500-1 main payload has been set free.
The Soyuz will soon be fueled, electrical tests have already been accomplished.
GAUSS engineers have already set up multiple tracking stations in Italy to follow the spacecraft.
Last night for on Planet Earth!🚀🛰

was the first payload to be integrated into .
We realized several custom-designed subsystems to ensure the proper functioning of T4i payload with the spacecraft bus.

Remembering a successful test day together with our friends of T4i Technology for Propulsion and Innovation.
electronics and module worked flawlessly together.
Our engineers have arrived at Bajkonur Cosmodrome Range for integration.
Now some days of precautionary quarantine will be respected before operations begin.
It takes about three hours to arrive by car from the nearest airport.
During the trip, you pass through the Kazakh red steppe, almost identical for the entire route.
What does it remind you of?

GAUSS personnel is getting ready for the journey to the integration site of in Bajkonur.
It will be a complex trip, given the pandemic, but we are all counting the hours to see UNISAT-7 again, before the farewell.

We are glad to have onboard !
We are thrilled that our collaboration with brought this great result in such a short time.
Our spacecraft will soon be integrated on the Soyuz-Fregat launch vehicle.
Launch is scheduled for March 20, 2021, GO-inertial at 06:07:12 UTC.
