BDSAT and BDSAT-2 were two technology demonstration and amateur radio satellites developed by a Czech consortium of the CEITEC institute and the companies BD Sensors and Spacemanic. The goal of the two 1U CubeSat-type satellites was to test pressure sensor devices and supercapacitor energy storage as well as to communicate with the radio amateur community.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] BDSAT was launched in April 2022 on the Transporter-4 flight of Falcon 9[9] but stopped transmitting signals after several weeks due to a software problem[4][10] and burned up in the atmosphere in March 2024.[11] The replacement satellite BDSAT-2 was launched in January 2023 on Transporter-6[3][8] and operated successfully.[11][12] It ended its mission in destructive re-entry in February 2025.[13][14]
