Student Space Systems Fabrication Lab

We had a great turnout for skating last night (123 People!). Thanks to everyone who turned out and to ESG for sponsoring the event!

MCubed-1 continues to operate on orbit! Her mission would go on to be completed by MCubed-2 since she unintentionally docked with E1P (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-Cubed). However, MCubed-1 still holds the record for Michigan's longest-lasting CubeSat!

MCubed-1 Telemetry ...it's all about one thing

Engineers from the Michigan Exploration Laboratory (MXL) traveled to the Peach Mountain Observatory last night to test a new CubeSat star tracker and marvel at the aurora borealis! The 26 meter dish antenna in the foreground will be used to communicate with University of Michigan College of Engineering spacecraft as they venture into deep space!

We were treated to aurora last night in southeast Michigan. The team was up late at Peach Mountain testing a star tracker and captured this photo of the dish and the aurora. A cloudless night in Michigan with stars, aurora, the dish, and friends, what a gift!

Be sure to attend this talk if you want to become a leader in your field!

Join us in learning about the exciting opportunities that await University of Michigan Aerospace Engineering students after graduation! On Wednesday at 6:00 pm, U-M alum Tom Mirowski will be discussing the steps to being successful in your professional pursuits. You don't want to miss out!

Thank you to all of the students who participated in tonight's Planetary Resources info session! In this image, the audience is learning about the awesome projects that Michigan engineers got to lead while interning at the Redmond, Washington office.

Just one week until the Planetary Resources info session! You don't want to miss out on this opportunity to learn about their awesome mission.
