TU Wien Space Team

Now that we have the fully assembled EDU (education unit) Flight Model with us, we’re diving into rigorous testing. Every facet is being meticulously examined to ensure everything works exactly as intended. These tests are essential to guarantee that our EDU is fully prepared for its mission. 💡🔍 #STS1 #austriainspace #tuwien #cubeSaturday #spaceengineering #cubesat #satellites #tuspaceteam

We wish a happy new year to all of you! After this great year, we want again to thank all of our sponsors, supporters, followers as well as team-members for your ongoing support!!

This weekend, our team gathered to work on key aspects of our CubeSat. From testing hardware to improving software, everyone contributed to moving the project forward. Together, we’re making steady progress towards launch. 🚀 #STS1 #cubesaturday #tuwien #spaceengineering #cubesat #satellites #tuspaceteam

From design to actual PCB! 🚀 Here’s the COBC Flight Model for STS1—what started as a rendering is now a fully assembled board, ready for action. #STS1 #cubesaturday #tuwien #spaceengineering #cubesat #satellites #tuspaceteam

🛰 As part of our ongoing CubeSat development, we recently carried out crucial environmental tests on our Engineering Qualification Model (EQM) at FOTEC. 🛰 These tests are a key step in validating our satellite’s design, ensuring it can withstand the harsh conditions it will face during launch and space operations. FOTEC provided invaluable technical support throughout the testing process, helping us set up and actually execute both shaker and shock tests.

The ordered Flight Model (FM) electronics for STS1 have just arrived, showcasing the final design of the Communication and On-board Computer (COBC)! It’s more packed than ever, featuring enhanced Latch-Up protection for reliable performance in space. #STS1 #cubesaturday #tuwien #spaceengineering #cubesat #satellites #tuspaceteam

🔍 What is the Flight Readiness Review (FRR)? 🔍 At #euroc2024, every rocket undergoes a detailed Flight Readiness Review (FRR) before launch preparations can begin. This thorough inspection, led by the Technical Evaluation Board (TEB), checks everything from the recovery system to avionics, ensuring the rocket is safe and ready for the next stage. We’re excited to share that our rocket successfully passed this crucial milestone! 🚀 With the green light from the TEB, we’re cleared to move our rocket to continue preparing for lift-off. Stay tuned as we get ready to take to the skies!

Did you know that the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology we use every day exists because of a Hollywood actress? Hedy Lamarr, beyond her fame on the silver screen, was a brilliant inventor. During World War II, she co-developed a frequency-hopping technology to prevent the interception of radio signals, a concept that laid the groundwork for today’s wireless communication like Wi-Fi & Bluetooth. Yet, despite her groundbreaking invention, Hedy Lamarr never received the recognition she deserved during her lifetime. Her contributions to science were overlooked for decades, and only in recent years has her story become more widely known. In honor of her legacy, we’ve named our rocket Hedy and our mission Project Lamarr. We’re thrilled to announce that Hedy will be flying at EuRoC 2024. We can’t wait to see her take off to the skies and continue Hedy’s tradition of innovation.

Thanks for having us!! #space Austria in Space #rockets
