*Ready for Launch?!*

MTT-S recently announced the MTT-Sat Challenge for groups of students
developing RF hardware for cubesat applications.  The deadline for
proposals is October 2019. Further details can be found at mttsat.mtt.org

The MTT-Sat Challenge is a worldwide competition for teams of undergraduate
and graduate students to design and build radio frequency (RF) and
microwave hardware for small satellites. The most promising designs will
undergo space environmental qualification testing and will be incorporated
in a cubesat, which will be launched into orbit (in case MTT-Sat Challenge
secures enough funding and a participation in cubesat projects).

The main goal of the MTT-Sat Challenge is to advance space RF and microwave
education, inspire students to pursue science and engineering education and
careers, and prepare tomorrow's leaders with the interdisciplinary teamwork
skills, which are necessary for success. The MTT-Sat Challenge is managed
by the IEEE Microwave Theory & Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S), a
federally-incorporated not-for-profit organization, with additional experts
and advisors in the field.

The MTT-Sat Challenge is intended to run over four academic years, starting
in June 2019, and is divided into several phases spanning over all
technology readiness levels. Proposals can be submitted for every single
phase.

At this time, IEEE MTT-Sat Challenge is calling for ideas, which might come
from one of the following fields: transceiver based on commercial of the
shelf (COTS) components, antenna systems and arrays for cubesats, ground
terminals for low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, radiation-hardened
electronics based on COTS components, inter-satellite communications,
electromagnetic (EM) sensors for cubesats, novel RF technologies for space
applications. Please find more detailed information at

.

The deadline for submission is October, 1, 2019, 11 pm (Hawaii Standard
Time). If you plan to submit a proposal, please submit a short Letter of
Interest by end of August 2019 to satchallenge at mtt.org.
