| Canadian students raising money for new satellite design
MONTREAL, Oct. 19 () -- A group of Canadian college students is trying to raise money to create a satellite that will test a new material that can heal itself.Space Concordia, made up of Concordia University Engineering students, designed the ConSat-1 three years ago to study the South Atlantic Anomaly, an area in space that causes electronic equipment to malfunction, CBC News reported Saturday.The ConSat-1 won the first Canadian Satellite Design Challenge last year, with a prize of having the satellite launched into space.Now, the team is working on a second satellite that incorporates a self-healing material designed by a Concordia professor.When the material breaks,[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]long bear parajumpers[/url], it releases an epoxy that seals cracks and protects against further damage."Nobody has sent this to space yet, so we thought it's really interesting to do this ourselves -- to send it in space -- and if it actually works, this could be used in future for bigger satellites, or even the next space station," said Mehbi Sabzalin,[url=http://www.parajumpersjackenoutlet.de/]parajumpers online shop[/url], the project leader for ConSat-2.Space Concordia has launched a Kickstarter crowdsourcing campaign to raise $15,000 to create ConSat-2."It's going to go to all the stuff that needs money the most, starting with communication, the transceivers," said Sabazlin.The team said it has raised $1,387 on Kickstarter with 42 days to go to reach its goal. |
