Missions

Our current mission, CHESS, aims to send two nano-satellites (CubeSat) into Earth orbit. The twin satellites will carry out multiple scientific experiments and technology demonstrations. Our other ongoing mission, CanSat, aims to train and prepare tomorrow's engineers to send small, can-sized satellites into the air.
