TUBSAT Missions
- © TU Berlin
With the launch of 21 small satellites, which have been designed and built together with students, and 8 more satellites being on the way, Technische Universität Berlin ranks as one of the world’s leading universities in this area. Following the successful launch, all TU Berlin satellites are renamed as TUBSAT with a sequential number in the order of start.
