    University of Toronto Aeronautics Team
    Jun 2010 - Current (16 years 3 months)
    The University of Toronto Aeronautics Team is a group of over 100 undergraduate and graduate students within the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto. We are founded in 2004, and we remain to be the only team at the University of Toronto focused in aeronautic design. In our early years, UTAT competed in the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute (CASI) Free Flight Competition, designing and building gliders scored on flight time and payload capacity. Within four years, we advanced from 7th to1st place. Beginning in the 2006-2007 season, our focus shifted to the SAE International Aero Design Competition, where the team was tasked to design and build powered radio controlled aircraft adhering to various co

    Handbook of Small Satellites
    Springer
    Jan 2020
    In the past decade, the field of small satellites has expanded the space industry in a powerful way. Hundreds, indeed thousands, of these innovative and highly cost-efficient satellites are now being launched from Earth to establish low-cost space systems. These smallsats are engaged in experiments and prototype testing, communications services, data relay, internet access, remote sensing, defense and security related services, and more. Some of these systems are quite small and are simple student experiments, while others in commercial constellations are employing state-of-the-art technologies to deliver fast and accurate services. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of this exciting new field. It covers the technology, applica
