Rosmini College has partnered with the University of Auckland’s (UOA) Space Department — Te Pūnaha Ātea (TPA) — to launch an ambitious two-year project that will see Kiwi students design, build, and launch a purposeful satellite into space.
This mission will launch a payload dedicated to student-led scientific discovery. Its goal is to inspire young people to see space as a pathway for learning and to empower them to investigate issues that matter to their generation.
The EduSat Flight Manual will help you build a working imitation mini satellite using the same kinds of systems flying right now aboard Aotearoa's TPA-1 CubeSat
From the EduSat Launch Event on Wednesday 16 September at 4.30pm
