University Laboratory for Small Satellites and Space Engineering Systems Building 2 (ULyS³ES-2)

The ULyS³ES Building 2 hosts testing facilities for small satellite components and systems, including a Full Anechoic Chamber (FAC) and a temperature and humidity test chamber. It also houses a conference room, classroom and reconfigurable workspace, including a “clean booth” for nanosatellite assembly.

University Laboratory for Small Satellites and Space Engineering Systems Building 1 (ULyS³ES-1)

Housed within Building 1 (ULyS³ES-1) are office and research spaces that provide an environment for researchers from different fields, such as electrical and electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, environmental science, space studies and other areas, to converge, engage and be productive. With space technology being an inherently interdisciplinary endeavor, ULyS3ES-1 was designed with collaboration in mind – fostering interaction through open layout for the research spaces and minimizing physical barriers. 

The Thermal Vacuum Chamber is primarily used to test satellite performance, control of the thermal cycle, and test components and subsystems in a fully controlled environment. The tests accurately reproduce the conditions of the space through simultaneous control of two environmental parameters: pressure and temperature.

The ARSS supports operation of satellites in amateur bands (144-146 MHz and 435-438 MHz) and serves as a training ground to establish terrestrial and satellite communications in the amateur radio bands. The ARSS also serves as an avenue to promote awareness and interest in satellite technology. Here, students and researchers are given the chance to […]

Research facilities in ULyS3ES-1 include equipment for functional testing of small satellite components and integrated systems, “clean booths” for small satellite assembly, a thermal-vacuum chamber for space environment testing of nanosatellites, as well as rapid prototyping equipment. It also houses the Engineering Model (EM) of the 50 kg microsatellite, Diwata-2, and a Flight Model (FM) […]
