CubeSat

A CubeSat is a type of miniature satellites for space research, which has a volume of exactly one liter, weighs no more than one kilogram, and typically uses commercial electronics. Since 1999, California Polytechnic University (CalPoly) by Prof. Jordi Puig-Suari and Stanford University by Professor Bob Twiggs have developed the specifications to help universities worldwide to conducting space science and exploration, this is known as the CubeSat standard.

CubeSat (TRIY)

The Robotics Institute of Yucatan (TRIY), tries to make the design, construction, technology integration, launch and tele-operation of CubeSat standard through a 3U pico-satellite which carries a payload robotics as an experimental model of orbital stabilization called TRIY-SAT I. The idea is to perform an operations center (earth stations) located in the Yucatan Peninsula, which offers features ideal for tele-operate satellites due to geographical location and topography of the place. The Yucatan Robotics Institute has highly qualified personnel in the area of telecommunications, microelectronics, robotics and software development, who joined the project as a multidisciplinary research team.

Ordered of the Project:

  • PhD Luis Alberto Muñoz Ubando.
  • Eng. Olmo Alonso Moreno Franco.
