The LASARsat mission is a continuation of the Czech high school team LASAR,[1] which won the Conrad Challenge, a global STEM competition held in Houston.
[2] The satellite is designed to test the possibilities of using high-power lasers for traffic management in orbit and to help to solve the problem of space debris.
The satellite should be launched into a Low Earth orbit by SpaceX's Falcon 9 as part of the Bandwagon-2 mission.
The satellite has control, energy and communication equipment on board, the latter being designed for amateur radio contact.
Seven scientific instruments will be on board LASARsat: The satellite main mission is to gain further data on the possible usage of the LASAR method and usage of Earth-based lasers in space in general.
