Unique research partnership with SSC

In the first partnership of its kind, space researchers at Luleå University of Technology and SSC (Swedish Space Corporation) have explored the potential to automate stratospheric balloons.

New trajectory simulation tool for stratospheric balloons in Swedish Space Industry

The researcher Kanika Garg at the Onboard Space Systems Group of Luleå University of Technology is working together with SSC Esrange to develop a new type of trajectory support system. The solution creates more efficient stratospheric balloon flights by reducing risks and increasing cost-efficiency.

The University's satellite finally in orbit

Now it's in orbit in space – the miniaturized satellite that is built and developed at Luleå University of Technology. – After a few hours of nerve-racking silence, it finally began transmitting, says Reza Emami, Professor of Onboard Space Systems.

Cubesat finally in space

The Swedish miniaturized satellite that is built and developed at Luleå University of Technology, has been launched into space. After a stop at the International Space Station, it will soon be in orbit in the thermosphere.

Future mineral mining in space

Asteroids used for mining and building infrastructure for humans going deeper into space. That could be the future, according to research at Luleå University of Technology. – Asteroid mining is no longer science fiction, but a prospect of incredible opportunities, says Reza Emami, Professor of Onboard Space Systems.

Prestigious research investment to the Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineer

Three research subjects at the Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering, get a part of a vigorous research investment initiated by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation. This applies to Atmospheric Science, Onboard Space Systems and Dependable Communication and Computing.

First Swedish miniaturized satellite

What will be the first officially Swedish registered miniaturized satellite will be developed and tested at Luleå University of Technology, in collaboration with the UK-based Open Cosmos Ltd, in the international initiative the QB50 project. – This will be an "enabler" for our group, thus important, says Reza Emami, chaired professor of Onboard Space Systems.
