We have developed the PolCube payload, a polarimeter camera for 12U CubeSat mission, in order to demonstrate the performance feasibility technically since 2019. Main objectives of the PolCube camera are the dust detection around Korean peninsula and monitoring super-thin clouds distribution on global oceans. KASI and Korean consortium members maintain a good collaboration with NASA LaRC team in this project. PolCube is a compact payload under 5kg in mass and under 15W in power consumption. This payload has two optical heads, two detectors with 1280 x 1024 CMOS array format, and two filter sets with 4 wavelengths and 0, 60, 90, 120 polarization angles. Each optical head has a field of view of 10 degrees (Swath width ~ 98km) at the altitude of 567km Sun-synchronous orbit. 12U CubeSat spacecraft will be made by a CubeSat company managed by Busan city & KIOST in Korea. In this paper, we will describe the current design of the PolCube payload development.
