During 2021, ASAT’s team managed not only to be accepted, but also to distinct in the world’s largest interuniversity rocketry competition, Spaceport America Cup (SAC) 2021. The competition’s goal is to design, manufacture and launch a rocket at an apogee of 10,000ft or 30,000ft, with the safest possible recovery. In Read more…
The Solar Energy Management (SEM) sub-system of the Aeronautics Project was founded in April 2020 and aims at building the necessary photovoltaic system that will meet the energy requirements of our Solar UAV – Phoenix. It is also responsible for optimizing generated energy from the sun and properly distributing it Read more…
In 2020, Rocketry managed to face the sudden changes and achieve its goals. Its members worked on giving the best results and they continue with even more energy and new data to develop and improve. The past year, a great achievement for the Project was the construction of Hyperion, which Read more…
Aeronautics has entered 2021 with a more dynamic and versatile personality, while its enhanced capabilities allow the project to set a list of S.M.A.R.T and exciting goals. First of all, the project has managed to arm itself with numerous, new capable members, who are to significantly facilitate the process of Read more…
Solar UAV Aeronautics project continues to thrive and leads to innovation! Inspired by the vision of the previous generation of project members, Aeronautics presents the inception of the design of a pioneering Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). This particular UAV will be powered by solar radiation with the use of solar panels, Read more…
Avionics Subsystem The Avionics subsystem is responsible for implementing four different tasks. Their initial remit is Avionics bay, where the flight computer is located. Following is the GPS bay, whose job is to find the location where the rocket has landed with GPS’ module help. The Ignition Box is another Read more…
On-Board Computer Subsystem The On-Board Computer (OBC) subsystem is considered to be the “brain” of the satellite. It will be primarily responsible for coordinating and performing the basic functions required for the operation of the nanosatellite (CubeSat) as well as for its control by the ground. In addition, the subsystem’s Read more…
Aerodynamics Subsystem The Aerodynamics subteam is responsible for the design of the aerodynamic surfaces of the rocket. The goal is to design a rocket that reaches the desired apogee while remaining stable throughout the flight. To achieve that the subteam designs and analyzes the nosecone, body tube and fins of Read more…
Structural Subsystem In CubeSats, structural engineers are trained to design the ‘bones and muscles’ that create the form and shape of the nanosatellite. In more detail, for AcubeSAT, the subteam members had to carefully design both the exterior and the interior part of the nanosatellite. The exterior part of the Read more…
Structural Subsystem In rocketry, structural engineers design the “bones and muscles” that create the form and shape of a rocket and in managing to successfully do so, they usually work in cooperation with an aerodynamics team. Structural engineers need to understand and calculate the weight, strength, and rigidity of the Read more…
