Orbit NTNU

The FramSat mission is a satellite-based platform to demonstrate the tech of bleeding-edge Norwegian technology. FramSat is Orbit NTNU's first partner mission, where we're provided our bus and systems with our sponsor Eidsvoll Electronics AS to test and verify their sun sensor. There are two satellites, FramSat-1 and FramSat-1.5, launching this year. By developing our own in-house systems on volunteer hours, we are in a unique position to launch payloads that would not be affordable on commercial options. Orbit NTNU has developed this tailored mission system in-house and will participate in the historic first launch from European and Norwegian soil.

Our partner, Isar Aerospace, will perform the launch with the Spectrum rocket, and is a part of the next step for the new space race. Orbit NTNU is a crucial part of the new space industry and New Space by having the lowest industry costs while still outperforming yesterday's solutions. Developed entirely by students, the satellites comprise several advanced subsystems needed for tomorrow's space civilization.
