Cube Satellite 立方衛星
MARSlab is expanding its research into CubeSat systems. Our current focus is on the design and development of innovative payloads and critical subsystems that enhance the performance and mission capabilities of small satellites. To bring these systems to orbit, MARSlab and its collaborators work closely with the Taiwan Space Agency (TASA) for launch opportunities and technical support. Through this effort, the lab aims to contribute to more accessible, efficient, and sustainable uses of space.
