NTNU Test Satellite – NUTS Norwegian Cubesat

The student satellite project is organized at Department for Electronics and Telecomunications (IET). Our aim is to design, build, test and launch a double CubeSat by 2014. Most of the work is carried out by students from several departments and study programs, such as electronics, communications, space technology, physics, cybernetics, computer science, mechanics and more.

Projects during 2011 and 2012

There will be possible assignments within these topics:

 

  1. ADCS
  2. Communication system (satellite and ground systems)
  3. Power management
  4. Internal databus and OBC
  5. System design and specification
  6. Payload

Please contact Roger Birkeland or look at the section possible assignments if you are interested in joining the project in 2012!
