The Tartan-Artibeus-1 Satellite, developed at Carnegie Mellon University, was aboard SpaceX's successful Falcon 9 launch of Transporter-3 to orbit on Jan. 13. It was deployed to low-Earth orbit as part of the Alba Unicorn constellation.
"Our lab developed the Tartan-Artibeus-1 Satellite, which is what we believe to be the world's first batteryless PocketQube nanosatellite," said Brandon Lucia, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering. "This project was led by Ph.D. students Brad Denby and Emily Ruppel from my lab and in collaboration with Alba Orbital, our launch services provider."
