We Are Brown Space Engineering

We are an undergraduate student group at Brown University. Our main focus is PVDX, a 3U CubeSat. PVDX's mission is to 1) to test novel Perovskite Solar Cell technology and 2) to create a way for anyone to interact with space! Our first satellite was EQUiSat, a 1U CubeSat which has a payload of 4 LEDs to create a beacon visible from earth and LiFePo4 batteries that have never flown in space before. Our primary mission is to prove the accessibility of space to people of all backgrounds. To accomplish this we are approaching the project with a DIY attitude; if we can make a part ourselves, we do. As a result we have an extremely low budget. Additionally we are open sourcing EVERYTHING. Our latest information can be found on our resources page!
