Students and Staff of SUPSI-DTI have designed and built the first swiss all SUP-made student-class satellite, TIsat 1.

The objectives of the CubeSat mission are:

  • Monitoring of the durability of exposed thin bonding wires, PCB tracks and lines (Atomic Oxygen effects, AOE).
  • Verification of the system fault tolerance scheme.
  • Acquisition of spacecraft environment and operating data.
  • All firmware, in house developed baseband modulation schemes.
