Alexander: Hi, I am Alexander Hacker, am 26 years old and study ESPACE in the 3rd Master semester. In October 2019 I joined the DEDRA team. Alexander: As an ESPACE student, this is right up my alley. DEDRA was originally planned as a standalone project with a whole satellite. Since the MOVE-team already has a […]
MOVE-III is the first cross-institutional project of the new Faculty of Aerospace and Geodesy at the Technical University of Munich. It shall conduct in-situ measurements of submillimeter space debris and micro-meteoroid particles, making use of the Debris Density Retrieval and Analysis (DEDRA) sensor. The mission shall help to validate and improve the space debris models […]
The MOVE-BEYOND satellite platform shall serve as baseline for the next satellites built at the Chair of Astronautics and – in case the systems get so far – be the platform for any missions of the origins-excellence cluster. Apart from the technical goal of developing one satellite platform that shall fly on at least two […]
Hi everyone, It is the COM design team wearing our high altitude balloon tracking hat and we will introduce the Balloon Tracker subsystem we used last week to safely recover our ballon: Obviously this is a module which will not fly on the satellite but has important role in the test campaign. During the development […]
The Command & Data Handling Subsystem (CDH for short) is the “brain” of our satellite, so to speak. It collects and manages sensor and housekeeping data and commands the other subsystems. For our balloon mission, the CDH subsystem will have no “C”, i.e. no command handling part as our balloon will only be able to […]
Hey everyone! This is the EPS design team of MOVE speaking, we wanted to introduce you the system we designed: EPS stands for electrical power supply so we are responsible for everything related to power on the satellite. This starts with the solar cells which will generate the power on MOVE-III and includes our battery […]
