Over 60 students have been involved in curriculum-based projects so far and have participated in outreach activities in Bristol schools and museums. Student societies have also organised CanSat and rocket building competitions for their members with the help of the facilities and staff. Currently, we are working on our first satellite, UoBSat-1, with multiple teams covering the different aspects of the mission. The PROVE-Pathfinder is the potential payload and acts as a technology demonstrator for the future development of the UoBSat-1 satellite.
