Presentation of the MTCube CubeSat Project

In this paper, we will present the MTCube project, with a focus on the preliminary considerations regarding the payload which will consist in flying different types of state-of-the-art COTS (Commercial Off the Self) memories. The objective of the mission is to assess their sensitivity with respect to SEEs (Single Event Effects) in the space environment in order to compare ground based tests results with in-flight data.
