Who is SST?

Our mission is to train the professionals of the future, offering students the concrete opportunity to apply their academic knowledge to real, complex projects.
We are a team of students for students, driven by a passion for space and supported by those who believe in our project. An organization that transforms individual enthusiasm into a collective enterprise of excellence.

OUR TEAM SUBSECTION:

The team is divided into six subsystems, each focused on a specific design area. This structure optimizes work distribution, enhances individual skills, and ensures effective integration between the various project areas. The subsystems are updated annually based on project needs and competition requirements, as in the case of the recent addition of the Automatic Controls subsystem.

Mechanical Subsystem

Responsible for structural design and manufacturing through CAD modeling, aerodynamic analysis, and carbon fiber fabrication. The process involves prototyping, testing, and system integration, ensuring all construction requirements and constraints are met. 

Tools: SolidWorks, CATIA, ANSYS, 3D Printing

Automatic Control Subsystem

Manages dynamic system modeling and the development of guidance and stabilization algorithms. Activities focus on controller design, simulation, and real-world integration to ensure precise system behavior and stability. 

Tools: MATLAB, Simulink, Python, C/C++, PID control

Flight Software Subsystem

Responsible for developing embedded software to manage onboard operations. Key activities include firmware development, hardware-software integration, and communic. protocols to ensure seamless data exchange between subsystems.

Tools: C, C++, UART, I2C, SPI, RTOS

Ground Software Subsystem

Develops command interfaces and telemetry systems for mission control operations. It include backend development, data management, and establishing reliable communication links with the onboard system to monitor and direct mission progress.

Tools: Python, C/C++, Graphical Libraries, Communic. Protocols

Electrical and Sensor 
Subsystem

Handles the design and implementation of circuitry, sensors, and power systems. Responsibilities include component selection, power budget definition, and PCB layout, followed by rigorous laboratory testing and validation to ensure system reliability.

Tools: KiCad, Altium Designer, Eagle, Lab Equipment

Social and Management Subsystem

Oversees organizational management, communication, and relations with partners and sponsors. Key activities include content creation, public relations, and internal team coordination to ensure smooth operations and a strong external presence.

Tools: WordPress, Adobe Suite, Social Media & Project Management Tools
