LMRST and SNAP |
|
| Stanford's SSDL has received funding from JPL to move forward with Phase 1 funding to create an engineering model of a SNAP system that will will receive JPL's LMRST hardware. This hardware is a deep space transponder that will be sent into space to test communication between it and the ground stations.

SNAP Solutions |
|
 | SSDL is developing a new CubeSat bus system, called Stanford NanoSat Affordable Payload Solutions (SNAP Solutions). This will use mostly SSDL created technology to create a system robust enough to work with a variety of payloads. Any small payload that needs to be flown or technology that needs to be flight proven, will be easily incorporated into the system and flight readied. SSDL is also creating the ground capability to work with SNAP Solutions. |

SDGS |
|
 | We are developing Software Defined Ground Stations (SDGS) to enhance multiple mission support. We are leveraging software defined radios (SDRs) combined with virtual machines such as (Xen or VMWare) to enable ground station to be customized from the application layer down to modulation/demodulation. This work is supported by a NASA SBIR and is in partnership with Astronautical Development, LLC.

MGSN |
|
| We are developing a prototype federated ground station network, called the Mercury Ground Station Network, to provided increased reliable coverage for university satellite missions. Our research is developing new technologies for flexible application level support in stations and increased availability through recovery oriented techniques. Mercury has been deployed at three stations in California and Alaska and is currently being deployed in Norway, Germany, and Denmark.

KatySat |
|
| KatySat is a new application of the Cubesat standard to put space technology into the hands of K-12 students. During the inaugural mission, students from a SF Bay Area high school will plan and command real space missions, analyze telemetry data and perform predictive calculations, establish communication links and global collaborations with other students around the world, and experience a team environment as beginning engineers. The emphasis of the project is for the students to have fun while discovering the applications of the material covered in their math, science, and technology classes. For more information, please see their website.
