RIT will permanently shut down the RIT Wiki (Confluence wiki) on February 2, 2024. Review the Wiki Shut Down Overview for information on alternative tools, exporting content from the wiki, and other FAQs.
This page is intended as a scratch pad for scientific CubeSat and HAB payload ideas and discussion. Fire at will.
CubeSat Payloads Ideas
- Small scale ion engine
- Use sound in zero G to move particles of water
- Passive orientation using a tether and gravity gradients
- Inscribe donator names on the chip board
- extreme cold temperature tolerance after power loss (like a failsafe for the type of thing that happened to Philae)
