Materials make missions possible. SmartMat explores shape-memory alloys, thermal-responsive polymers, and self-healing composites to build satellites and structures of the future. Lightweight, adaptive, and resilient — our materials research redefines what’s possible in space and on Earth.
AeroSense is our initiative in atmospheric and environmental sensing. From miniature weather stations to satellite-based prediction tools, we’re building systems that track climate variables, detect pollution, and provide real-time data for scientific and public use. Precision sensing. Planet-wide impact.
The SolGen program focuses on developing lightweight, high-efficiency solar panels tailored for small satellites and remote installations. Our research combines novel materials, flexible substrates, and integrated power management systems to boost performance in extreme environments — from stratospheric balloons to orbital platforms.
Our rocketry development program partners with schools and universities to bring hands-on aerospace engineering into the classroom. Students design, build, and launch experimental rockets — gaining direct experience with propulsion systems, avionics, and flight testing. It’s not just STEM education; it’s spaceflight in the making.
The FemtoSat is an ultra-miniaturized satellite platform designed for experimental missions and cutting-edge research in constrained form factors. Smaller than a CubeSat or PocketQube, this platform explores the limits of miniaturization while still enabling basic space functions such as sensing, data transmission, and low-power computing.
Engineered for innovation and experimentation, the FemtoSat is ideal for exploring swarm satellite concepts, rapid prototyping, and high-risk technology validation in low Earth orbit. Its small size makes it a cost-effective tool for advanced academic research and early-stage development of novel space systems.
