PROMETHEUS – PocketQube Framework Designed for Research and Educational access to Space

PROMETHEUS

The PROMETHEUS project aims at providing easy access to space for the research and education (R&E) community. Learning or researching about space can be more fruitful via hands-on projects. However, Space can seem like a pitfall environment with high risks and therefore high costs to develop projects at student level. This barrier is critical and hinders R&E opportunities given the lack of experience in this environment. The team has identified that there is no current tool that enables easy and low-cost access to such space experience of learning or manufacturing a simple satellite device (the base device for aerospace eng. education).
