Description Kinetic Optical Yaw Observer (KOYO) is a 3U CubeSat project jointly developed by HEX20 Pty Ltd, Aegiverse Co Ltd and National Central University (NCU), Taiwan. The project started in April 2023 and is expected to be launched in Q4 2024. The engineering aspect of the mission is mainly aimed at the flight verification of a fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) developed by Aegiverse, with applications to inertial navigation and seismic monitoring. Comparing the angular rates measured by a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) gyroscope and the FOG on orbit provides the FOG with the qualifications for space flight heritage, while the higher sensitivity of the FOG compared to the MEMS gyroscope can also be used to resolve fine disturbances in spacecraft attitude. In terms of science objectives, National Central University is responsible for planning the concept of operation for the measurement of attitude disturbances from drag torques due to thermospheric neutral density. Although there is only single-axis (Yaw) measurement, it is still possible to capture the phenomenon of obvious changes in drag near the terminator, due to day/night differences in neutral density. Following the design and operational experience of small satellites developed as part of the International Satellite Program in Research and Education (INSPIRE) consortium, the KOYO spacecraft uses a commercial off the shelf (COTS)a 3U CubeSat bus from HEX20. In addition to the basic spacecraft subsystems (power, data and communication), KOYO only uses passive magnets as an actuator for attitude stabilization because there is no specific pointing requirement for this mission. The mission architecture is very simple, but still has great potential. In addition to the goals of this mission, data from the payload can also be used to develop algorithms for retrieving air density, laying the foundation for future thermospheric observations. With the miniaturization of satellites and the increasing use of Low Earth Orbit (LEO), the need for accurate orbit propagation will increase. The high-precision measurements that can be provided by FOGs could be used for retrieval of thermospheric neutral density, which is still one of the most difficult upper atmospheric parameters to measure. The attitude and orbit data of a constellation of small satellites carrying FOGs can also be used as a source of global distribution of thermospheric atmospheric data.#KOYOcubesat #FiberOpticGyroscope #石虎號立方衛星 #光纖陀螺儀太空驗證
