Build a ChipSat
Your donation will help us build the miniature satellites for our DeSCENT mission! These student-designed ChipSats will collect and transmit data as they descend through Earth's atmosphere after being released from a Blue Origin New Shepard rocket!
$150
ChipSat Ground Station
Your donation will help us build ground stations to receive data from our ChipSats during flight! Students will develop and test antennas, radios, and software to track and communicate with our satellites as they descend toward Earth!
$250
Drone Flight Testing
Your donation will support our drone flight testing program, allowing students to test ChipSat hardware and communications systems in real flight conditions! These experiments help us identify problems and improve our designs before the DeSCENT mission!
$500
ASCENT Rocket Flight Testing
Your donation will support the development and flight testing of ASCENT, our student-designed rocket! Students will build and test the rocket's avionics, sensors, and communications systems, gaining valuable experience while developing flight-testing capabilities for our ChipSat research!
