Current Projects

KS1

Our founding project. A TubeSat Attitude Determination & Control System designed for InterOrbital Systems' next generation of small satellites. Our launch manifest is for 2022 and will be a technological demonstration and verification. This system is currently being optimized for one of our hungrier projects.

KAOS

The Knight Air Observer Satellite (KAOS), our knight in 3D printed armor...for now. KAOS is the first iteration of UCF's CubeSat Kit. The satellite is destined for a weather balloon launch to collect data on atmospheric chemistry and operate a image classification neural network. The first launch will be conducted in Summer 2022. Future iterations will optimize the neural network and payload vehicle to simulate entry descent & landing in a gliding fashion.

Big Idea Challenge

The Collegiate Space Foundation submitted a proposal for NASA's Breakthrough, Innovative, & Game-Changing Challenge. The “MoonHEX” Lunar Hexapod Concept is a rover that navigates the lunar terrain using it's six legs. The rover will study lunar lava tubes in search for primordial life and water.

PlantSAT

PlantSat is a collaborative project between NASA KSC and the Collegiate Space Foundation. The project focuses on the development of a modular 6U prototype to autonomously grow and deliver crops to a translunar injection (TLI).
