Students of the Wrocław University of Science and Technology are developing a nanosatellite to test perovskite photovoltaic cells and a plate with a coating that absorbs cosmic rays.

The aim of students from the Aerospace University of Technology research club is to design the WroSat nanosatellite with three scientific experiments including perovskite photovoltaic cells, a plate with materials absorbing cosmic rays and a robotic arm driven by actuators using the so-called shape memory feet. Students want to construct a device that could reach orbit at the end of 2023.

Young constructors deal with FlatSat power modules, i.e. a prototype that allows to test the basic functions of the satellite’s operation, as well as a radio module, device frame, planned experiments and their control systems. Every day they engage in stratospheric missions, develop CanSat rockets and probes for international competitions.
