GENA-OT is a technology demonstrationCubeSat mission developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and OroraTech.[1] In-Orbit Demonstration/Validation (IOD/IOV) is the practice of testing innovative technologies by flying them in Earth orbit before they can be used on operational space missions.[2][3]GENA-OT is an In-Orbit Demonstration (IOD) of a generic, flexible IOD/IOV satellite platform.[4][5][6]GENA-OT launched in November 2025 on the Falcon 9 flight Transporter-15[7] and began its orbital operations.[8]

Payload

The satellite payload space has been acquired by the University of the Bundeswehr Munich.[9] As part of the research program SeRANIS, the research center SPACE of the university developed and delivered most of the payloads for GENA-OT.[10] One of the other payloads is SpaceRadMon, an instrument for monitoring effects of space radiation on electronic component, developed by ESA and CERN.[11] Another payload is the Icarus receiver of the Max Planck Society's ICARUS Initiative for global wildlife tracking from space.[12]
