About
ChallengeOne is Telnet’s professional, configurable satellite platform: a kit-satellite bringing together a set of embedded subsystem modules (structure, OBC, EPS/PSS, ADCS reaction wheel, LoRa gateway, SDR, transceiver, UHF antenna system and camera/antenna module) that can be assembled and operated either in a laboratory for educational purposes or flown in low Earth orbit for operational/scientific missions. The platform’s flight heritage is the ChallengeOne nanosatellite, launched on a Soyuz-2 rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome into a 550 km LEO with a planned five-year mission life, acting as an on-orbit LoRa gateway that collects telemetry from ground-based IoT terminals (precision agriculture, infrastructure/road monitoring, asset and vehicle tracking). Telnet markets the platform on a configure-and-quote basis, offering full module compatibility, full testing/verification and warranty coverage.
