Missions

Concrete goals for student-built space systems. Each mission turns a technical question into hardware, software, tests, and operations planning.

Mission workflow

From concept to operations

Progress is measured through working prototypes, repeatable tests, and documentation another team can use.

Step 1

Scope

Define the mission goal, interfaces, risks, and the first subsystem split.

Step 2

Validate

Build prototypes, test assumptions, review designs, and integrate the pieces.

Step 3

Operate

Prepare launch, lab, field, or orbital operations and document what was learned.

Join a mission

Mission teams need many kinds of contributors

Hardware, software, electronics, simulation, manufacturing, operations, documentation, outreach, and partner communication all become mission-critical.
