Northeastern Satellite Laboratory
To develop, plan, maintain, and operate spacefaring projects, systems, missions, and support structures through student-led, hands-on education.
Goal: To establish and maintain a student-centered community which enduringly develops and operates spacefaring projects, systems, and missions at Northeastern University.
Members shall gain hands-on experience with satellite design, space engineering, space mission management, and space communications, amongst other things. Our student organization will provide committed members with ample opportunity to involve themselves in as many aspects of a space mission as they desire, including but not limited to software, hardware, mission operations, systems engineering, and cost projections.
