Technical Session VI: University Programs

Abstract

A team of graduate students from Tsinghua University of China, developed a testbed of MEMS Technologies for Space, which is known as MEMSSat. MEMSSat is a picosatellite, in which several MEMSs are integrated as subsystems such as micro propulsion, micro magnetometer, Micro Inertial Measurement Unit (MIMU), etc. These MEMS technologies are expected to be tested through this flight. Besides, micro CMOS camera and micro GPS receiver are also loaded as experimental payloads of MEMSSat. This paper describes the details of MEMSSat.
