First Generation Student Group Finishes

Today was the final presentation of the first group of students to work on UoS3. This group contributed to the satellite in the form of a so called group design project (GDP). A GDP is part of the education that students receive at the University of Southampton where students apply their knowledge to practical problems.

This GPD came up with an initial mission design, preliminary designs for subsystems and a first version of the satellite’s CAD model. Additionally, they set up this webpage that now allows us to communicate with you. A lot of additional work needs to be done before the satellite is ready to fly and the GDP provided valuable progress in the right direction.

Here is a quick snap shot during their final presentation:
