#SICT.- The Ministry of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport (SICT), through the Mexican Space Agency (AEM), reported that the test of the Mexican space module “EMIDSS-5” of the National Polytechnic Institute (IPN) in a mission of the U.S. space agency (NASA), was a success.

The AEM highlighted that the EMIDSS-5 (“Experimental Module for Iterative Design for Satellite Subsystems-5”) technology components, proudly Mexican, worked correctly, advancing in the construction of national capacities for the development of satellites and own space technology.

The tests of this new technology on Mexican scientific instrumentation, launched last August 22 from New Mexico, USA, were carried out at NASA’s own invitation to the IPN’s Center for Aerospace Development (CDA), recalled the researcher and leader coordinator of the EMIDSS program, Mario Alberto Mendoza Bárcenas.

He emphasized that the positive results of this mission, where experts from the Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente collaborated as a team, open the way for the next consecutive experiment, called “EMIDSS-6”.

“EMIDSS-6 is already scheduled to be launched in January 2025, from McMurdo Base, in Antarctica, including the experimental module “AEM-OPTIC-1”, which with environmental data and images of the stratospheric environment will help to study climate change and future identification of polluting particles,” they reported.
