This page will outline the current state of Space Systems, the plans and goals of the BUS and PAY teams, as well as the team’s efforts towards the CUBICS 2026 Grant.
A spacecraft bus consists of the main body and structural components of a spacecraft. This includes the primary mechanical, power, communications, and attitude control systems within the spacecraft.
The BUS team segment of UTAT Space Systems is responsible for the design, testing, and integrating of the satellite bus. BUS is composed of Systems, ADCS (Attitude Determination and Control Systems), Electrical, Firmware, Mechanical, Power, and RF/GS (Radiofrequency/Ground Station) subsystems.
