BAMMsat on BEXUS
Enabling biological, pharmaceutical, and materials science research in space environments on a miniaturised, autonomous orbital laboratory platform.
Space flight is hard and expensive, and every gram of mass counts when minimising launch costs. BAMMsat is designed to be compatible with a 3U CubeSat format, enabling use on low-cost rideshare missions to orbit.
BAMMsat is the first CubeSat design to incorporate multicellular organisms. Nematode worms (C. Elegans) will be flown in the sample chambers, where experiments will be performing using multiple different reagents.
Drag Sails
FYT! LEOniDAS
Reducing de-orbit time using drag sails for small satellites, enabling responsible space use while also extending end-of-life mission possibilities.
