Weighing less than one kilogram, the nanosatellite was designed and built by researchers at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), in collaboration with the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM), in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The BR1, as it is called, continues to transmit data on changes in the Earth&#8217;s magnetic field, collected by one of its onboard instruments, a magnetometer, to the INPE receiving stations and to amateur radio operators in Brazil and other countries (<a href=\"http:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/2014\/05\/20\/small-satellites-make-mark\/?\" target=\"_blank\">see <em>Pesquisa FAPESP<\/em> Issue n\u00ba 219<\/a>). According to engineer Ot\u00e1vio Dur\u00e3o, a researcher on the INPE nanosatellite team, two years of continuous operation is longer than expected: \u201cOur expectation was that the nanosatellite could operate for a minimum of three months and a maximum of one year.&#8221; The survival rate is uncertain. &#8220;It depends on the ability of the components to withstand the high-energy particles in space.&#8221; The INPE team, led by physicist Nelson Jorge Schuch, is now working on NanosatC-Br2, with more equipment, some of it built at INPE in partnership with businesses run by former students. The launch is planned for the first half of 2017.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"the first Brazilian nanosatellite completed two years of operations in space","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[168],"tags":[228,249],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-229011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technoscience","tag-engineering","tag-nanotechnology"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229011"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229011\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229011"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=229011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
