About this award
This is a $200,000.00 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Illinois to develop the Cooling, Pointing and Annealing Satellite (CAPSAT), a 3U CubeSat technology demonstrator. The project will demonstrate an active liquid cooling system, jitter control using piezoelectric actuators, and a single photon annealing technique to extend the lifetime of sensors for quantum entanglement experiments in space. This is a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional effort involving engineers, physicists, business, journalism, and interactive media students. The contract has no set-aside designation.
Description
The cooling, pointing and annealing satellite, capsat, is a 3U cubesat bus developed at illinois. This satellite will be a technology demonstrator for three key experiments. First, IT will demonstrate an active liquid cooling system for cubesats. Second, IT will demonstrate jitter control using piezoelectric actuators embedded in solar panels. Finally IT will develop a single photon annealing technique to extend the lifetime of sensors important to quantum entanglement experiments in space. The project is a multidisciplinary, multi institutional effort involving engineers, physicists, business majors, journalists and interactive media students
