BIRDY

Robin Klajzyngier

Working within Mars Escapade was not only challenging in terms of knowledge and skills, but also very exciting in human terms. Indeed, had the project dealt with other scientific domains or not, one thing would have remained constant : the Team. And it's...

Hello everybody! Here is our little baby: BIRDY. As a student of the Paris Observatory, I was led to pick a project to learn from and get a first experience in a project related to aerospace. I learned about this project through Boris Segret. Why did...

Testing the navigation function

Hi! During my internship I produced datasets to validate the future Navigation system of the CubeSat BIRDY. BIRDY will have to perform 3 important navigation tasks during the mission. The first one consists in orienting just after the jettison and taking...

A CubeSat, not a regular satellite.

CubeSats appear to be the most simple and yet adequate answer to the demands and constraints of space exploration. But what is a CubeSat ? A CubeSat is a Nano satellite : Typically 10 centimeter cube and weighing a mere 1 kilogram. The structure design...

Give the project its name : BIRDY

Giving a Name is always a terrible thing! I finally selected BIRDY for "Bleeping Interplanetary Radiations Determination Yo-yo". Indeed, the projet looks to me like a little robotic migratory bird, more and more everyday. We don't know how long this story...

Our Dream, Our Mission.

"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind". In 1969, Neil Amstrong and his copilot Buzz Aldrin put an end to decades of apprehension by leaving the first footprints on the moon. Apollo 11 was thus a clear success. Nevertheless, as Tsiolkovski...
