Stanford's SSDL - AA236D class spent the summer readying a payload for an ARLISS rocket launch in Black Rock Desert, Nevada. The goal was to test many different sensors and to ensure that communication with Stanford's ground station (Vizon(tm)) would be maintained throughout the launch. It was a success. The only lost of communication occurred when the generator failed and power was lost for a short period of time. See how much fun it was in this Video!

Welcome to the Space and Systems Development Laboratory in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. Our educational mission is to train students in all aspects of system design life cycle through hands-on work with student-engineered systems deployed in real-world operational environments. Our research mission is to develop innovative technologies to enable more capable and robust distributed systems with special interest in space environments. Current the AA236A class is in session. The Rovers are being built!

The students currently enrolled in AA236A recently had their first checkout. This meant testing basic functionality of their rovers, such as obstacle avoidance, the sending the receiving of telemetry, remote control, and functionality of magnetometer, temperature, and mode management.

SSDL took a trip down to JPL this past weekend to do a hardware and software integration test. The antenna deployment system worked flawlessly. We were able to turn JPL's payload on and off and test communications between JPL's payload and Stanford's SNAP Solution. |
