ALEASAT x MERCH PROJECT
UBC Orbit
Share
This team's mission is to create a mini-satellite to compete in the Canadian Space Design Challenge - the winner of which will be launched into space.
UBC Orbit is a student team dedicated to the design and development of a category of satellites called nano-sats. Partaking in the Canadian Space Design Challenge, UBC Orbit hopes to place first. If the team does so, they will proceed to work with corporate sponsors to launch their design into space. Each competing team has a scientific research payload. Orbit has tackled the task of space debris.

Baked. Shaken. Satellite in the making 🛰
Our team has spent the past few weeks at the European Space Agency's ESEC-Galaxia, where ALEASAT underwent TVAC and vibration testing.
Big thanks to for the opportunity and for sharing their expertise.

Recent ALEASAT PCB testing! Seen here are some of the boards we have designed for our cube satellite ALEASAT - including our On-Board Computer and Communications board!
These boards have been run through various tests for things such as signal and continuity in a flatsat setup (which is exactly what it sounds like: a setup with the satellite parts laid out flat)
