* '''Avionics'''
**'''The Gist'''The Avionics group works on all of the core electrical systems for the Satellites team, including electrical power distribution, sensors, and computing. Learn how to design and reflow Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and work with signal-processing to understand light signals in the inky darkness of space!

**'''The Gist''' Optics is all about putting light to work - starting from simple laser pointers to finally sending a communications signal across 10 kilometers in space! We use lasers, lenses, filters, sensors and even moving mirrors to send light flying through space and catch it on the other side.

* '''Software'''
* '''Software'''
**'''The Gist''' The software team tackles the many different challenges of software needed for satellites: from flight software to web development, we do it all. For flight software, we take advantage of parallel communications modules to manage real-time requirements on pointing control. For web development, we are partnering with the ground operations team to build thorough mission control software and web interface. If any of this seems daunting or complicated, don’t worry. We all started from scratch. Join software and get your code in space!

**'''The Gist''' The Structures team designs and builds all necessary flight mechanics, ranging from the overall structure to individual component mounts. We go through the full development process - whiteboard drawings, SolidWorks, and finally manufacturing.The Structures team is also responsible for many of the environmental considerations, such as the thermal and vacuum requirements of space, as well as the shock and vibration profile of launch.
