TUPEX - Overview

Chair of Astronautics at the Technische Universität Berlin (TU Berlin) is setting a focus on pico- and nanosatellites. Due to their cost effectiveness and variability satellites with a mass of less than 20 kg become more and more attractive for future space missions. During last decade miniaturization of satellite bus subsystems was continuously gaining importance.

The TUPEX experiments allow us to test future satellite hardware on sounding rockets.
