On 27 May 2025 a long-term plan for MIST was discussed with the aim of getting ready for launch in 2027. Present during the meeting were (left to right): Prof Johnny Öberg (SEUD experimenter), Professor Carl-Mikael Zetterling (SiC experimenter), Professor Mark Pearce (CUBES experimenter), Professor Christer Fuglesang (KTH Space center director), Risha Haq (Mechanical team),...

Mechanical sub-team Attitude Control sub-team Onboard Software sub-team Functional testing sub-team The MIST System Test Phase (Presentation by the project manager) B.Sc. thesis students Nils Kiefer and Casper Melander pose with their project product - a universal transport box for 3U Cubesats. KTH Space Center director and astronaut Christer Fuglesang was present at the meeting.

The MIST project participated during the ORBIT space jobs fair at the student union of the Royal Institute of Technology on 9 April 2025. Our objective to recruit students for the Fall 2025 semester.

"Office Day" MIST students have started running whole-day meetings to coordinate the various "work threads" of the project - reminiscent of the concept of "concurrent engineering". These meetings started in the fall of 2024 and have continued during the spring semester. So far, two such meetings have been held: 1 February and 1 March. The... Continue Reading →

On November 24, 2022, students succeeded in running hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulations of the attitude control of MIST that match earlier software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulations (see figure above). The earlier simulations ran in a laptop where control code, sensors, actuators,and the orbital motion of the satellite, sun and magnetic field orientations are all run in software. These...

The MIST student satellite ground station can be seen below tracking the FunCube-1 satellite across the sky and then goes to a parking position where the satellite will appear on the the next pass over Stockholm. During this pass we received telemetry on 145.935 MHz using the shorter of the antennas in the video and... Continue Reading →
