MIT’s Undergraduate Satellite Hub
We are MIT’s main undergraduate-led satellite hub. With backing from AeroAstro and the Small Satellite Collaborative, we aim to bridge the institute’s undergraduate body with satellite systems, software, and hardware engineering experience with an emphasis on humanitarian impact. All our projects are started from scratch, so our members get experience in all the steps of a mission’s life cycle.
