Artemis Picosat
Artemis Picosat |
Artemis is the second undergraduate satellite project at Santa Clara University. It is part of the Santa Clara Remote Extreme Environment Mechanism (SCREEM) laboratory, which was started to investigate and design various mechanisms to survive extreme environments. These environments include the vacuum of space and the depths of the ocean.
As one of the three picosatellite providers for Stanford's Orbiting Picosat Automatic
Launcher (OPAL) project, the Artemis group is using a low cost,
quick prototype process to continually explore the limitations of picosatellites. The
Artemis satellites carried a VLF wave experiment. The three picosats were launched in
January 2000. Unfortunately no data was received from the picosats.
