AIS Sat 3 - tapt i morges - NRK

Formålet med satellitten var: 
The 7-kg, 20x20x20cm AISSat-3 satellite, funded by the Norwegian Space Centre, is similar to AISSat-2 but incorporates an upgraded Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiver for improved ship detection rates. Given the great success of AISSat-1, the completion of the AISSat-2 satellite, and the need for at least three operational space-based AIS assets, Norway initiated the AISSat-3 project. All three AIS satellites working in tandem will increase coverage, shorten revisit times, and provide natural redundancy for space-based AIS observation under direct control by Norway

På grunn av en teknisk svik i det siste trinnet av den russiske bæreraketten, kom den og lere andre satellitter i feil bane og regnes som tapt.
