DISCO-2

DISCO-2 is the second satellite in the Danish Student CubeSat Program (DISCO), driven by students and staff from Aarhus University, the IT University of Copenhagen, and the University of Southern Denmark.

The satellite represents the most ambitious student CubeSat project developed in Denmark. With DISCO-2, we are pushing the limits of what small satellites can achieve, building on the experiences gained from Aarhus University's first student satellite, Delphini-1.

Students from the three universities have developed the concept, design, and integration of the satellite, resulting in a 10 × 10 × 30 cm (3U) CubeSat equipped with three cameras. DISCO-2 will contribute to climate change research by collecting valuable data in collaboration with the Arctic Research Center and the Interdisciplinary Center for Climate Change at Aarhus University.

We look forward to the launch of DISCO-2 in February 2026!
