2 THE FireBird MISSION GOALS (2)
The two satellite constellation:
1. The TET-1 satellite (launched June,2012)Is now used by the On Orbit Verification Mission of the DLR space administration.After one year in space it changes to the FireBird mission of the DLR R&D program directorate space
2. The BIROS satellite (launched expected 2014)Funding from German Government (satellite BUS) and from DLR R&D program directorate space.
TET-1: 60x60x80 cm³, 120 kg, 500 km SSOBIROS: 60x60x80 cm³, 140 kg, 500..600 km SSO

2 THE FireBird MISSION GOALS (3)
The BIROS satellite gives the opportunity for working on secondary mission goals
1. Optical navigation experiment “AVANTI”• PicoSat launch from BIROS• The PicoSat serves as non cooperative target for optical navigation
and proximity operations (100m ………10 km distance)• Inter satellite link PicoSat BIROS permits the usage of the PicoSat
GPS receiver as a BIROS “remote device” for AVANTI verification
Relation to primary mission goal:Experiences for a cooperative behavior of different small satellites in futurein fulfilling a common task for future mission concepts

The BIROS satellite gives the opportunity for working on secondary mission goals
2. On Board Mission Planning experiment “VAMOS”1. Special SW in the on the BIROS payload computer2. A special shadow command list in the BIROS board computer3. Alternative on board scenarios depending on conditions like
• Memory usage• Battery level• Clouds over the target areas• Detection of fires in the target region (yes/no)
4. Autonomous decision on board about the mission scenarioRelation to primary mission goal:
Increased efficiency of an Earth Observation mission by maximizingthe usage of on board resources

2 THE FireBird MISSION GOALS (5)
The BIROS satellite gives the opportunity for working on secondary mission goals
3. Optical communication experiment “OSIRIS”• 3 different laser systems for communication to ground• data rate up to 1 Gbit/s• four quadrant laser detector on board for increased pointing
accuracy• a beacon laser from ground to satellite supports the BIROS
attitude control and can be used for an optical data uplink
Relation to primary mission goal:Dramatic extension of downlink capacity comparing it with the standardS-band transmitter of BIROS

4. High Agility Experiment “HTW”• 3 special high torque wheels• Slew rate up 3 deg/s• Different acceleration profiles• Verification of several satellite slew profiles• Study of interaction with normal attitude control
Relation to primary mission goal:Multiple image stripes over one target areaFast switching between different targetsFast re orientation to Sun (more power)

3 THE MISSION POLICY
1. FireBird is a DLR mission• all mission segments are controlled by DLR R&D• the mission is organized as a DLR R&D project
2. FireBird is a science mission• The mission is not focused on commercial aspects• The mission is not operational• The mission is steered by an “Principal Investigator” and an
international, open science team• The mission is open for other EO topics
3. FireBird is an IR mission for remote sensing of hightemperature events• this is the main goal of the mission• but secondary goals are accepted and desired
