Government is investing $350,000 from the Research Innovation Fund to help Memorial University develop a MUNStar-1 satellite. Following the successful launch of the Killick-1 satellite from the International Space Station in May of this year, MUN engineering students are developing a second earth observation satellite with a mission to study the ocean as part of the Canadian Space Agency CUBICS program. The satellite will collect GPS signals reflected from the earth’s surface as a passive radar to measure waves, winds, sea ice, oil spills and other ocean parameters from space. The team includes a large group of undergraduate and graduate electrical, mechanical and mechatronics engineering students. The satellite will be deployed to a sun synchronous orbit or an orbit similar to the International Space Station.
