Students in Germany designing smaller satellite
Prepares students from the University of Wurzburg Germany to launch a satellite into space at an altitude of about six hundred miles, in a series of leading research in the field of technology designs small size, as does not exceed the length of the moon, which comes in the form of small cube with solar cells shiny ten centimeters as no more weight on Alcleogram.
It is expected that moon is served "reimburse -3" which is a practical training for students at the University of Wurzburg, to the base of the rocket fire in the southern Russian Yassin end of March / March, but it is still not clear when it will be launched into space.
He said the project leader Klaus Schilling, an official at the Institute of Computer Science "when carrying out up to orbit, we will begin scientific measurements that we want to develop the best possible shape." And reimburse an acronym for "experimental satellite of the University of Wurzburg."
He added that young researchers will have to wait until just the right time which looped reimburse up Wurzburg, and we will send all the data that have been collected from the moon to the University, as new orders will be transferred to the moon during a total period of ten minutes.
In turn, was considered a candidate for doctoral Stefan Bush, who participates in research with the team since 2008 but is currently working as a coordinator to carry out the project, "This is an amazing opportunity to work creatively."
Bush added, which includes a team composed of ten members, students holding master's degree and bachelor's as well as candidates for Ph.D. aviation sector, they feel more confident somewhat with Juve, where they can do research new work includes multiple disciplines, stressing that they do not build parts of the Moon but artificial build fully satellites.
The information will be sent via frequency waves are also used to receive radio broadcasts, and will be able to cube and students communicate for almost three months.
And the draft reimburse highly regarded on the international level, has also been awarded Schilling prize worth about three million dollars by the research program of the European Union, and will help this amount in providing the necessary means to conduct research until 2018, which means that there will be research on the construction of four satellites other.
It is noteworthy that there are two small cubes from a cube University of Wurzburg already orbiting in space, but no longer the signals where the last signal was sent in 2010.
