The Space Systems division designs small satellites—specifically CubeSats—to provide students with educational opportunities in aerospace and systems design, assembly integration and testing (AIT), mission planning, and leadership. Members gain in-depth experience working on satellite missions in a way otherwise inaccessible to undergraduate students.
We are passionate about developing low-cost, miniaturized systems to address problems that have yet to be solved. Many of our open-source designs can be used for other amateur satellites and student satellite design teams. We are a fully student-run, student-funded satellite design team based out of Toronto, Canada since 2014.

UTAT Space Systems has a track record of making ambitions come true. We’re fueled by a pioneering spirit that carries us above and beyond. And together we enable highly skilled student engineers to continually push boundaries, tackle big challenges, and imagine solutions that inspire and endure.
