Meeting Information We meet every Tuesday and Thursday at 7pm for a few hours. The starting location is almost always VBRH M-25. Check out the location found here. Please let us know you are coming! Contact the club at space@uah.edu. | Choose a project below   ChargerSat-1 is an actual satellite in development at UAH. We are targeting 2013 for launch to orbit. There is a lot to be done for the 10cm x 10cm x 10cm unit, especially as we enter the testing phase of the subsystems. BalloonSat is our most popular launch platform. By using high-altitude balloons, we are able to launch payloads ranging from 8th grade experiments to NASA research projects. All SHC members participate in BalloonSat as each launch requires payload development, launch team, ground station, and recovery team. CanSat is an international competition held in Texas. This opportunity give us the chance to design, develop, fabricate, test, and launch a mock satellite. We often consider this a training program, however participants complete this project with a rewarding product and tremendous experience. Mars Rover is a nationwide competition. Much like the CanSat competition, Mars Rover gives students the opportunity to design, develop, fabricate, test, and launch a rocket and rover that will perform basic actions. Ground Station At our ground station we are able to track our ground launched payloads including our BalloonSat missions. We also turn the antennas up and listen to many satellites, especially the International Space Station. If you are interested in participating, contact us! Recent Contact with Satellites:   |
