Lehigh Engineers

Lehigh University Space Initiative (LUSI) was recently accepted into the University Nanosatellite Program (UNP). UNP provides the CubeSat team with funding and technical support to advance the development of OSPREY (Ocean Satellite for Plastics Research and Environmental Yield).

The mission of OSPREY is to capture spectral data of plastics in the ocean to estimate their concentration and distribution and assess impacts on marine ecosystems. UNP directly supports their prototyping and system development efforts while also providing Lehigh interns (Adam Klinge: Materials Science and Engineering '28 and Aidan Donnelly: Electrical Engineering '28) with hands-on training and specialized workshops aimed at preparing the team to produce a launch-ready system.

LUSI president and MechE major Hannah Peik '27 says, "This acceptance marks a significant step in establishing Lehigh University as a credible contributor to collegiate space systems and satellite development."

This year 8 teams were selected from a large number who applied. Over the 20+ years of the program, there have only been 55 universities participating.

From Apollo to Artemis, from Bell Labs to the James Webb Space Telescope, Lehigh University’s “space race” legacy echoes across the emerging New Space economy. The new issue of Resolve magazine charts a course into Lehigh’s aerospace community, featuring faculty research, alumni accomplishments, student teams, and a new interdisciplinary master’s program that ties it all together.
