The primary mission of our research project is to develop a femtosatellite model optimized for studying thermal atmosphere dynamics in order to better understand and address the growing issue of space debris. By leveraging the compact size, low cost, and advanced sensing capabilities of femtosatellites, we aim to gather precise data on atmospheric density and dynamics at various altitudes in low Earth orbit (LEO). This information will help us analyze the behavior of space debris during reentry events, ultimately contributing to sustainable space exploration practices and reducing the risks associated with space debris.

Our future goal
Accessible PCB Development for Latin American Universities
​Our future goal is to develop a PCB that is accessible for universities and students, especially from Latin America. By leveraging the inherently low cost of femtosatellites, we aim to provide assistance and support for the development of missions and all required procedures. This initiative seeks to make it easier for students in the region to access space science and encourage new ideas and innovations.
