abstract = "The RaioSat project intends to detect intra-cloud and
cloud-to-ground lightning flashes simultaneously, the socalled
total lightning data, using an optical sensor and a VHF antenna
onboard a CubeSat platform. Two different sensor networks that
detect and locate lightning flashes in Brazil, called RINDAT and
BrasilDAT, will be used as reference data. The RaioSat mission is
expected to be in a LEO orbit at 650km and it will use a
3U-CubeSat aluminum frame (10x10x30cm) to accommodate the main
platform and its payload. The main platform shall have telemetry,
commanding and housekeeping capabilities via an on-board computer,
3-axis attitude control and a GPS. The payload shall have a VHF
passive antenna (range of 50 to 200MHz) and a spectral imaging
camera (SIC) with resolution of 2,048 x 1,536 pixels leading to a
surface imaging of 80 m/pixel. Also SIC shall have a spectral
range from 700 to 900nm using a band-pass optical filter.
Additionally, the paper briefly describes all the main stages of
the space mission over the system life-cycle.",
