KOSTKA (Czech for 'cube') is an educational and amateur radio satellite developed by the YSpace team from Brno University of Technology.[1] The 1U CubeSat will be the first Czech satellite designed and built entirely by students.[2][3] The satellite is designed to test an innovative CubeSat antenna design, with which the team has won the ESA BIC Liftoff Challenge in 2025.[4][5] Its designers also proposed to use the satellite to communicate with an automated meteorological station in Antarctica.[1] KOSTKA serves as a precursor to YSpace's more ambitious mission CIMER designed to perform microbiological experiments in orbit.[2][6]

Timeline

[edit]

Work on the project started in 2023.[7] In March 2026, the satellite has successfully passed its final tests and is expected to launch in mid-2026 on a Falcon 9 rocket.[8][9]
