=== Its all about going to space ===

During the last twenty years we have constructed, build, launched and operated five cubesats with a huge succes.

As for now we are working on no six - AAUSAT6

We will launch it to a polar LEO when it is ready for launch. Hopefully in a few years from now.

=== In AAU SATLAB we design, construct, launch and operate cubesat ... ===

   * because we like space 
   * because we want to become the best space engineers
   * because the best way to learn is "just do it"
   * because it fits into AAUs problem based learning for engineers
   * Some links

   * just because :-)

not to forget

  * 100% DIY by students
  * Collaboration between students
    * At different specializations
    * At different semesters (spring 2025 students from second to tench semester)
  *  All in a mega project or PBL Extreme

and

  * Students are in control of management in the project and sub project !

=== Our mantra ===

   * It must be fun
   * It must be serious
   * We are in it together
   * We(the students) do it all - no COTS subsystems in our satellite
      * Our own mission
      * Our own design of whole satellite and all subsystems
      * Our own soldering, assembly, testing etc
      * Deliver to launch
      * Operate satellite

=== Our next mission: AAUSAT6 ===
We are going up 
   * in size 2U cubesat
   * in frequency S-band or higher
   * in power - tripling power production

There will come more information here
