 Recently, the Swedish-led Prisma satellite system successfully passed the Critical Design Review (CDR). The CDR was hosted at SSC's Engineering center in Stockholm and included SSC engineers from SSC as well as from the partner organizations CNES, DLR and DTU.
Now that the design is approved, the final manufacturing of the flight hardware can begin, followed by the assembly, integration and tests of the two satellites. The assembly and integration will take place at SSC’s facility in Stockholm beginning this spring. The satellites should be ready for launch in the autumn of 2008.
Prisma, developed by SSC, will demonstrate autonomous formation flying and rendezvous as well as qualify new satellite technologies, for example silicon-based cold gas thrusters and a green propulsion system. It is a multilateral mission mainly financed by the Swedish National Space Board but with participation from France, Germany and Denmark.
