GOMX-5

GOMX-5 is a future low Earth orbit technology demonstration satellite under development by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Danish company GomSpace. The mission is designed to demonstrate a new 8U CubeSat platform for GomSpace, as well as an innovative maritime domain awareness payload detecting signals across UHF to X-band for maritime surveillance. The satellite also carries a radiation detector developed by Czech Technical University with ESA support. The satellite is equipped with an electric propulsion system, developed by the French company ThrustMe, for orbit raising and end-of-life disposal in compliance with ESA's space debris mitigation policy. GOMX-5 is expected to launch in 2026.
