MartBLUE is a joint project between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The goal of the project is to develop a Micro-Satellite that, among other objectives, plans to demonstrate formation flying capabilities and technologies for Earth observation and space science missions.
The Micro-Satellite is intended to be launched into space as a constellation of multiple affordable satellites,
MartBLUE is expected to operate between 160 and 750 km above the Earth's surface. The collaboration expects
Initial design studies led by the DLR include and completion the necessary models for thermodynamic mechanics
