According to NASA a space project is divided into seven phases beginning with concept studies and ending with the decommissioning. In order to enter the next phase, milestones are defined which typically come along with a document explaining how this milestone is achieved. It is then reviewed by experts to receive feedback e.g. where are […]

Software tests & fantastic news from Mission Control
As everyone right now, we stay at home and try to make the best out of the situation. Being physically apart does not mean we stopped working. After our General Meeting went online on April 21th, May is full of new ideas regarding interaction and getting together. Like before we see and hear each other […]
MOVE-III
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 […]
First Hardware, Antenna fixing and new opportunities
It has been a while since we gave an update. But we had a lot to do and can report now a lot: > New DOSIS hardware for general testing > New antenna hardware on the roof for our satellites in orbit > New collaboration with DEDRA > Hohoho and what the future holds Earlier […]

Hello new website!
We now have a new website! This will be the new home for all the news and updates about all our satellite projects. You still can access the old pages with the same link if you have to. So if you want to stay updated make sure you either follow us on one of our […]
BEYOND
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 […]
MOVE-II(b)
MOVE-II is a small satellite which was launched into space in December 2018. MOVE-II is a CubeSat, a tiny satellite with dimensions of 10 x 10 x 13 cm and a mass of 1.2 kg. It is the second satellite of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the follow-up project of First-MOVE. The name […]
MOVE-ON
MOVE-ON is developing a High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS) as a experimental and testing platform for future satellite missions. Scientific and also technical payloads are build by the students, staff of the chair or external costumers. MOVE-ON is building on the experience of past satellite missions of the chair and the MOVE missions. More information […]
First-MOVE
The first satellite built at TU Munich was a cooperation between the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Chair for Astronautics (LRT). The 10x10x11.3 cm cube-shaped nanosatellite launched on Nov 21st 2013 from Yasny, Russia into a sun-synchronous orbit. The primary mission ended in late December the same year but First-MOVE continues to transmit its […]
