GOMX-4 - The Twin European Mission for IOD Purposes
The next generation of nanosatellites in GomSpace has been developed after the success of GOMX-3 in aircraft traffic monitoring and L-band communications. GOMX-4 is the demonstration mission of this new 6U platform including two satellites; GOMX-4A and GOMX-4B, which are mainly intended to test cons...
