Gama Beta is planned to launch to twice the altitude of Gama Alpha and focus on traveling from point A to point B using only photonic propulsion.
NanoAvionics, a Lithuanian company, supplied part of the Gama Alpha platform including electrical systems, telecommunications, and on-board cards.
Gama Alpha will test the deployment of a solar sail with an area of 73.3 square meters.
Gama Alpha is a six-unit cubesat using a spacecraft bus provided by NanoAvionics.
