GU Orbit

As many of you might have already heard, the OirthirSAT team from the GU Orbit family was announced the winner of the #Nanosatdesigncompetition organised by @spacegovuk and department of Transport. We congratulate the team and thank everyone who has been part of this journey.

Cloud view reached over 38 km in height during a 3 hour journey. We would like to thank @Keysighttechnologies for lending us their oscilloscope, without your ongoing support we would not have been able to achieve this.

GU Orbit is holding an event on Thursday the 21st of September at 18:00 in the James McCune Smith Learning Hub at the University of Glasgow. During this event we will have a small talk outlining the different teams and their roles in building a satellite.

Our applications are now open until the 29th of September and you can apply via the link in our profile! We will have a recruitment event in which you will have a chance to talk to all the team leads. Be sure to follow us to get all the information regarding this event.

We are delighted to announce that we have some open positions for the embedded systems projects. Everyone (even non-GU Orbit members) will be able to apply via a Google Form forms.gle/8JRTGvoXCkWxZ2…. drive.google.com/file/d/1HywM-V….

Applications for the summer project, will be open from today until Friday the 23th of June. forms.gle/x2WYh4PVS5hLGZ…. The earlier you apply the better. drive.google.com/file/d/1a-8g2H… . uog.orbit@gmail.com

We had a wonderful visit to the @AACClydeSpace facilities, and we would like to thank them. AAC Clyde Space is a company that specialises in small satellite technologies and services. The visit was full of incredible talks showcasing their work and a tour of their facilities.

We would like to thank @UKSEDS for inviting us to have a stand at the National Student Space Conference (NSSC). During our time there we got to learn about student-led projects and meet experts from across the aerospace industry. We already look forward next year's event!

Everyone at GU Orbit wants to congratulate and thank all woman, but particularly those that are part of GU Orbit. We would like to use today (The International's Women Day) to ensure that they get recognised for their contributions and accomplishments.

Last Friday we had a Full Team Meeting. The evening started with presentations about updates on CloudView and Astraeus. Then, the two teams that represented GU Orbit in the Airbus competition gave a presentation. Finally, the night ended with a social full of fun activities.

We would like to thank @AlbaOrbital for their incredible tour around their facilities. They're a company aiming to get more people to build and launch satellites. It was an honour to visit the testing centre that has launched the biggest quantity of PocketQube sats in the world!

Our one-of-a-kind spin-off project @oirthirsat is currently recruiting new space enthusiasts as the team is expanding! Head over to oirthirsat.space/blank-page if you are interested in joining them to reach #orbit! 🚀🛰️

Our spinoff project @OirthirSAT is recruiting students to be part of their mission! This opportunity is for everyone that will be a student in Glasgow for the next year. If this sounds like you, head over to the recruitment page and apply: oirthirsat.space/blank-page!

The tools covered during the workshop were approaches that are becoming more popular for engineering of complex systems,especially in the Space industry. So,when the rest of the Team got an invite,they showed up in numbers. We will host more of such workshops. So stay tuned!(3/3)

The workshops were designed to bring the Embedded Systems Team up to speed with the cutting-edge tools and methods that formally guide the capture of requirements along with the implementation, verification and validation of functionalities for the On-Board Computer. (2/3)

Over the course of last week, our Embedded Systems Team Lead Giorgio Ciacchella hosted a series of 3 interactive workshops covering the basics of Concurrent, Model-Based approaches to System Engineering and Embedded Software Development. (1/3)
