The satellite, called a ThinSat, is scheduled to take the science experiments into Earth’s lower orbit next spring on a rocket, whose main mission is to deliver cargo to NASA’s International Space Station. Mason Engineering students took a giant leap into complex space-related research this year.Ī senior design team with 14 students from three engineering departments worked together all year on three experiments that are being integrated into one small satellite about the size of two smartphones.
