From concept sketch... to 3d Model....
Due to financial limitations the propulsion system and attitude adjustment have not been included in the prototype. The means of testing these systems also lies outside the realms of citizen science mortals ;)
Please have a browse through the links below for the technicalities of the system.
All source code developed for the prototype can also be found on our project Github.
Be nice though, it's only a very rapidly produced prototype not production quality code!
To test the core concepts of this project a prototype satellite was constructed. With 1:1 scale dimensions the prototype has proved many of the conceptual operation of the satellite and dock, notably the vision system of the dock and the telemetry.
