As part of University College Dublin's MSc in Space Science & Technologycurriculum, student teams, over the course of a single term, design, build,launch (on a meteorological balloon), operate and recover their own payload ona standardised platform. Each 'TupperSat' must be built from, or containedwithin, a household plastic storage container, It must weigh less than 1kg, beable to determine location, altitude, internal and external temperature and airpressure, and be able to broadcast this information using an in-housecommunications system. Students must also design and build a scientific payloador novel technology demonstration to fly on their TupperSat. Notable examplesinclude an earth observation vegetation sensor, particle sample return,gamma-ray detector, and air-bag landing system. The instructors play the roleof customer and launch authority. The students are provided with a number ofstandard components including a Raspberry Pi single-board computer, a 5000 mAHbattery, high-altitude-compatible GPS unit, temperature and pressure sensorsand, a small low-power radio transceiver module developed specifically for thecourse based on the LoRa standard. Teams are given a budget of EUR 100 ($115)to purchase additional materials and to build their payload. The students learnspace industry practices by full immersion in a typical space projectdevelopment cycle. TupperSat design and payload concepts are pitched by thestudent teams at a Preliminary Design Review; plans are well developed before aCritical Design Review, and the team must pass a Flight Readiness Review beforebeing granted permission to launch. Good project management is crucial in orderto meet deadlines and secure a launch at the end of the term. As studentparticipation has grown, the module has been modified to allow for moreambitious and challenging projects which further motivates the students.
