$10
Send your name to Space!
Give $10 or more and get your name printed on our spacecraft circuit boards and sent into space!
$20
3D Printer Filament
Your donation will enable us to prototype multiple light sail and ChipSat deployers for our missions!
$50
Circuit Boards
Your donation will allow us to prototype student-designed PCBs for both our ChipSat and Light Sail deployer projects! Students will solder, test, and iterate on these designs as we bring our projects to life!
$100
ChipSat Picoballoon Flight
Your donation enables us to launch 1 ChipSat in a small balloon that (if conditions are right) could circumnavigate the globe! Such flights allow us to test our compatibility with more ground stations, while gathering the support of listeners around the world to collect data from our light sail when it's in orbit!
$200
Thermal-Vacuum Test
Your donation will cover the cost of a thermal cycle in vacuum (-40C to 60C!) to simulate the temperature fluctuations on orbit! This shall be one of the final testing milestones to ensure our light sail can deploy successfully.
$500
Conference Appearances
Your donation will allow a student to present our cutting-edge technology and mission results at a high-visibility spacecraft conference this summer! This will cover airfare, lodging, and conference fees and will be an excellent networking opportunity for our students as they embark on their aerospace careers!
$1,000
Light Sail Deployers
Your donation will cover the cost of a suite of light sail deployers for astronauts to use on the International Space Station! Students from the Sailing to the Stars mission will carefully assemble and test each of these deployers in the SSDS cleanroom.
