GENA-OT is a technology demonstration CubeSat 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] The launch of GENA-OT is expected in late 2025 on the Falcon 9 flight Transporter-15.

Payload

The satellite payload space has been acquired by the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. [8] As part of the research program SeRANIS, the research center SPACE ot the university developed and delivered most of the payloads for GENA-OT. [9] One of the other payloads is SpaceRadMon, an instrument for monitoring effects of space radiation on electronic component, developed by ESA and CERN. [10]
