TRAPSat: An educational, multidisciplinary, student-lead, small satellite project at Capitol Technology University.

 

TRAPSat is an aerogel-based, debris capture and parameterization mission designed to capture and parameterize micro debris in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

 

           Currently the only parameters being looked at are the zero and first level parameters: how many impacts per orbit and location within the orbit where impact occurs.
