"Introduction:

Space 4.0 age has come with numerous changes in a way space exploration is
being perceived. This area of study evolved from the political and economic
ground to academic and commercial fields of interest. Such a rapid spread
led to quick growth of the CubeSat market, as more and more units are
engaging in small satellites development projects. KRAKsat nanosatellite
project, held on AGH University of Science and Technology in Cracow, stands
out as one of the beneficiaries of Space 4.0 transformations. The initiative
began in 2016 when a group of students started their research on an
innovative idea called Ferro fluid Reaction Wheel. As a reliable orientation
and rotation control system, it could, in the future, replace currently
used solutions. In January 2018 the cooperation with SatRevolution has been
established. Project KRAKsat, consisting of academic experimental payload
and commercial platform, has officially started. After one year of
development, in January 2019, the satellite was finally integrated and
launched on board Cygnus NG-11 with a regular International SpaceStation
delivery. The actual mission has started on the 3rd of July 2019, after
successful deployment intoLEO orbit."
