Background |
TIsat-1 complies with the
CubeSat Design Specification
and philosophy aiming
at the development of low cost satellites by undergraduate/graduate
student teams for
training in system design and, leveraging on the fascination of space
missions, aiming to foster the interest of young people for engineering
curricula. Low cost is acheived through the use of Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) components wherever possible. This approach puts at the reach of the young designers a wealth of modern components that can be creatively applied for their student-class satellites, eventually helping to qualify new technologies for commercial and scientifically profiled (space) applications.
