The Student Satellite MIST
KTH Space Centre gives students the opportunity to build a real satellite that will be sent to space.
Here you can read the blog about the ongoing work with the satellite MIST
The satellite is a 3U CubeSat, primarily built by students working in small teams. The project was defined in 2014, and the work started on January 28, 2015. The project is lead by Sven Grahn, an experienced satellite project manager.
Seven technical and scientific experiments are included in the KTH student satellite MIST (MIniature STudent satellite). The experiments have been proposed from inside KTH, from two Swedish companies and from the Swedish Institute of Space Physics in Kiruna.
