Published purpose

This project aims at developing a novel technology targeting computing systems used on satellites and spacecraft, with the potential for substantially extending the device lifetime. This technology will be demonstrated with a nanosatellite mission, which will include novel microthruster (used for deorbiting) and plant growth experiments. Students involved in this program will have the opportunity of being exposed to advanced technologies for data handling systems of space missions, nanosat propulsion systems, and flight hardware development.
