The Eu:CROPIS satellite
The compact satellite Eu:CROPIS was constructed under the leadership of the DLR Institute of Space Systems in Bremen. The DLR Institute of Composite Structures and Adaptive Systems in Braunschweig developed the structure and the pressurised tank. Power is supplied by four solar panels of one square metre each. The Eu:CROPIS satellite was placed in orbit by a Falcon 9 launcher that lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California (USA) on 3 December 2018.
