GOMX-3 was a technology demonstration CubeSat operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Danish company GomSpace in low Earth orbit between 2015 and 2016.[1][2][3] It was ESA's first in-orbit demonstration CubeSat.[4] After being deployed from the ISS on 5 October 2015, it successfully tested various miniaturised communication technologies.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
