Filtered air maintains a positive pressure in the room to keep “dirty” air away from the systems being worked on grounded work benches inside the protected environment. LASSI’s clean room provides a pristine environment for spaceflight hardware assembly and test. Multiple forms of rapid prototyping, design, and simulation capabilities are also provided. The laboratory is equipped with a Clean Room, Thermal-Vacuum Chamber, Vacuum Oven, Sun Simulator, Earth Orbital Magnetic Simulator, and a range of mechanical and electrical diagnostic equipment.

Four other satellites are in various stages of development as depicted in the graphic below. CubeSail’s mission culminates in the deployment demonstration of a 260 m long solar reflecting film ribbon in mid-2020. Our first satellite, CubeSail, was launched in December, 2018 on a Rocket Lab Electron rocket from New Zealand. Lembeck has led or worked on multiple government and commercial spaceflight programs, including JPL’s Galileo Jupiter Orbiter, Space Industries, Inc.’s Wake Shield Facility, Orbital Sciences’ OrbView/Warfighter commercial remote sensing program, NASA’s Vision for Space Exploration, and the Boeing commercial crew program. Lembeck, Ph.D., a Professor of Practice in the Aerospace Engineering Department, is Director of the Laboratory for Advanced Space Systems at Illinois (LASSI). In the next two years, LASSI will expand into new laboratory space to be built as an extension to Talbot Laboratory. LASSI supports students, faculty, and other customers utilizing small satellite resources designed, developed, and tested at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This laboratory is the University of Illinois’ premier space design and testing workspace. Controls, Dynamical Systems and Estimation.Aerospace Systems Design and Simulation.

Should your experience include any of the following, please contact us:Īdditionally, our mission control software team (Mission Operations Center) is looking to on-board 5 additional programmers as we make the push to deliver the minimum viable product before the semester ends. We accept all majors, and don't require experience for volunteer positions - we will teach you everything you need to know. We'll be setting up interviews Tuesday-Thursday of next week, with selections made by September 9th. Please visit our website: satdev.ae. and fill out the form for any positions you're interested in. Over the next week, we're hiring for multiple paid student positions and taking applications for volunteer exec board and satellite sub-team positions. The Satellite Development Organization (SatDev RSO) has five active satellite missions: LAICE, CubeSail, CAPSat, SASSI2, and SpaceICE.
