T-Sat-2

T-Sat-2 is the third mission in the Tethered-Sat program. The team has bifurcated the work into two focused sub-projects — T-Sat 2A and T-Sat 2B — each with its own scope but working toward common mission goals.

T-Sat 2A concentrates on mechanical, deployment, and hardware systems. This includes a controlled separation system with deployment by parachute. 2A handles everything needed to make the physical system fly, deploy, and behave safely and reliably with attachments such as on-board cameras and sensors.

T-Sat 2B focuses on optical, electronic, and software systems. This covers cameras, altitude sensors, remote control/telemetry, image capture and processing, and the software that interprets data and drives control of deployment or parafoil steering.
