About satellites

Satellites orbit the Earth to provide communication, navigation, and scientific data for a wide range of applications.

What's included in the kit

Various sensors, microcontrollers, antennas, and batteries which can mounted on PCB as well as frame and insructions

What makes this set helpful for learning

We think that it is important to teach younger generation about space if humanity wants to become multistellar civilization. We included technologies which are used on real satellites up on the orbit such as GPS and IMU

Software

Learn how to programm your own satellite on C++ with Arduino IDE environment

Encryption

Try to spy on the satellite while it is transmitting signals. Capture the flag (CTF) with ground station radio

Frame

Build a 1U case made from carbon fiber enforced PLA with your own hands

Web interface

Connect to your satellite via Wi-Fi and controll it remotely, view tempetare and altitude

Sensors and Radio

Learn sensor fusino, radio communication, GPS. Mount all components on PCB, no soldering required

Share your results

Building satellite is much better in team, share your results with each other
