Overview
The Laboratory of Simulation and Control of Aerospace Systems, LODESTAR, is located at the University of Brasilia, Brazil, and currently is structured in three main divisions of research and technological development: Space Missions, Small Sat Simulator, and High-Altitude Scientific Ballooning. Its infrastructure is currently divided in three main environments, organized in a total area of approximately 100 m2, consisting of a place for hardware and firmware development, a satellite command and control ground station, a satellite laser ranging system, a satellite hardware-in-the-loop simulation system, in addition to venues for meetings and developments for the LODESTAR team and its partners.
Welcome to the place where the theory meets the practice, and news ideas face the rigorous standards of evidence!
Our team members
The project team is composed of professors, staff and students from UnB, also counting on the participation of external collaborators.
