Formation Flying Satellites
NUS-DSO STAR flagship mission involves the design and development of 3 small satellites which would orbit around the earth in tandem.
-
Success of the program will indigenously build up Singapore’s capability for the first time with multiple satellites flying in tight formation and will pave the way for future advanced applications such as collaborative sensing and in orbit servicing.
-
The formation flying mission requires precise control and navigation of satellites in orbit.
-
The program would reinforce Singapore’s position as an innovation hub for small satellites.
-
Undergraduates and young professionals will have the opportunity to participate in the integration of satellite and mission control from this program, equipping them with career capital to take on jobs in the global space industry.
