TIS has secured a flight on Firefly Aerospace’s Alpha launch vehicle to send an educational 3u Cubesat (miniature satellite), “Serenity,” into low Earth orbit. Serenity will carry a high school radiation measurement experiment and a university blockchain communications experiment. Anyone with an amateur radio license can receive communications from Serenity regarding the satellite’s health, position, and collected data. YOU can interact with Serenity while it is in orbit!

The Perlan Project sponsored TIS in 2015 and 2016 at $7500 for an introductory workshop for 30 educators to learn how to fly experiments on Perlan 2, then $35,000 for six biweekly online sessions to support 40 schools in a competition to produce 10 built experiments for flight on Perlan 2. Orbital cubesats are typically expensive to build, launch and manage. Over time we have developed solutions which are both effective and amazingly low-cost.
