EagleSat Laboratory

The EagleSat Lab is a research and design lab for the EagleSat space grant project. The team has launched EaglSat-2 into the ISS orbit, with a payload designed as to analyze the degradation of memory devices used on satellite systems today, such as flash memory, SD cards, memory sticks, etc. The payload is called the Memory Degradation Experiment (MDE). Computer memory types being tested are Flash, Ferroelectric RAM, Magnetoresistive RAM and Static RAM.

The EagleSat Lab is located in Building 76, Room 127, and is equipped with an ISO 8 clean room, a deep space-rated vacuum chamber, and electrical test and measurement equipment. The ground station for the project is on the roof of Building 75 (AXFAB) and is controlled and operated from the computers in the lab. Once deployed by Astronauts onboard the ISS, the satellite ground station on campus will be able to communicate with this satellite for a total of about nine minutes every day as it passes overhead. Launch successfully completed on Sep/14/2025 via NASA & Northrop Grumman's 23rd Resupply Mission to the ISS.
