Welcome to the homepage of the COMPASS-1 project! This website has been created to present the results obtained from the COMPASS-1 mission and to report about the current status of the satellite in orbit. The COMPASS-1 CubeSat was designed and built by students from the Aachen University of Applied Sciences in Aachen, Germany. More than four years were needed to realize this 1 kilogram Picosatellite from scratch into a space-ready flight model. The launch took place in April 2008 from the Indian space port Sriharikota. The mission received (and still receives) tremendous support by the radio amateur community, which helped to collect a large amount of data and images from the satellite. On the following pages the mission and spacecraft design is shortly reviewed, followed by a detailed description of the mission operation and the data obtained from the satellite in space. Have a good time!
