Project Management and Systems Engineering
Owns the Integrated Master Schedule, risk registers, and technical budgets (power, mass, thermal, RF), and coordinates PDR, CDR, and FRR reviews.
Teams and Work Breakdown
Mission execution distributed across specialized student teams.
The project uses systems-engineering style ownership to keep technical budgets, launch readiness, and risk management visible across every phase.
Balloon Engineering and H2 Production
Calculates fill volume, conditions the envelope, and develops small-scale hydrogen production via electrolysis.
Antenna Teams (WSPR TX and GPS RX)
Runs antenna trade studies, performs VNA sweeps, and designs active patch antennas with LNAs.
Solar Panels and PCB Operating Teams
Measures I-V curves, builds SPICE models for sun-angle power generation, develops WSPR/GPS firmware, and applies conformal coating.
Launch and Materials Management
Secures launch sites, obtains university approvals, packages build kits, and runs tabletop launch rehearsals.
Weather Team
Builds forecast templates, runs trajectory models, and delivers launch-day go/no-go recommendations.
