Make your academic space mission succeed. The TRISKEL Mission Award is our contribution to help an educational CubeSat project move forward as quickly as possible. The selected proposal will receive our solution for command and data-handling based on more than 12 years’ experience in developing CubeSats.
About the TRISKEL Mission Award
Are you working on a CubeSat project? With our TRISKEL Mission Award, Alén Space aims to support science, research and educational space programmes.
The winning team will receive as award the core of any platform: a TRISKEL flight model (FM) unit which integrates all the necessary elements to manage the command and data-handling subsystems of a CubeSat mission. TRISKEL integrates On-Board Computer (OBC) and Telemetry, Tracking, and Command (TTC) in one single module, allowing to save space in the design and maintain the redundancy and reliability.
Who can apply?
- Universities with or without previous experience
- High-tech and research centres
- Non-profit organisations (or other non-commercial structure)
