Systems

The people who make sure the pieces add up to a spacecraft.

Systems owns the whole, not a part. Requirements, interfaces, budgets for mass and power and data, and the reviews that catch a problem on paper instead of on a launch pad.

It is the discipline that sees every other one. If you want to understand how a mission actually fits together, this is where you sit.

What we're working on

  • Requirements and interface control across AIRIS, SCALAR, and GS-2
  • Integration planning for SCALAR ahead of delivery
  • Mass, power, and link budgets that every subteam designs against

What you'll pick up

  • Requirements writing and verification
  • Interface control and integration planning
  • Design reviews and technical documentation
  • Trade studies with real constraints

You do not need prior experience. Applications open at the start of each semester, and we take people from every school and year.
