The Space and Satellite Systems Club at UC Davis aims to provide a hands-on experience for undergraduate students that will prepare them for a future career in the aerospace industry. In the past, we've competed in the CanSat competition hosted by AIAA and AAS and held our own competition at UC Davis, which was geared towards working with satellite technology.
Based in Davis, California, the Space and Satellite Systems Club, or SSS (pronounced 'Triple S'), is currently developing the first satellite to be designed and manufacturing solely by undergraduate students at UC Davis, which you can find more information on at the Current Projects and Project Updates pages. With the help of Prof. Stephen Robinson and his Human/Robotics/Vehicle Integration and Performance (HRVIP) laboratory and our industry partners at Astro Digital, we hope to create a solid foundation that future generations at UC Davis can use to propel their ideas, passions, and careers into space.
To provide an inclusive and hands-on opportunity for undergraduate students to work in design, manufacturing, and testing of Aerospace systems. We oversee UC Davis' first ever undergraduate CubeSat program, a NASA BIG Idea Challenge team designing greenhouse systems for a Mars colony, and a high-altitude weather balloon research project.
