~~NOTOC~~ === AAU SATLAB the homepage for AAU Student Satellite Program === // AAU is short for [[https:aau.dk | Aalborg University Denmark]] // {{https://studentspace.aau.dk/pictmovie/AAUStudentSpace2023.mp4}} // credit goes to Trine Reinholt Andersen AAU // ---- === 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. ---- === Latest news === Look 19 March 2025 [[news | News]] ---- === 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 * [[https://aau.dk | AAU ]] * [[https://space.aau.dk | AAUs scientific space group]] * [[https://www.en.tech.aau.dk/ | Tech Faculty ]] * [[https://www.es.aau.dk/ | Dep of Electronic Systems]] * [[https://studentspace.aau.dk | this site ]] * 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) * We all it a mega project or PBL Extreme and * Students are in control of management in the 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 ---- === Find us === In short: * We are located at [[http://www.aau.dk | Aalborg University]] at [[http://es.aau.dk | Dep of Electronic Systems]] * 57.01435733536798N, 9.985819144565662E * We simply do [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CubeSat |cubesats]] and related activities. * Up until now we have since 2003 launched 5 cubesats (see in menu) and participated in some other space satellite projects * email jdn@es.aau.dk ---- === 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 /*Read more here...
