MegaMan project

Megaconstellations are being proposed as new space systems consisting of hundreds to thousands of individual satellites. The MegaMan project aims to design a mega-constellation of CubeSats in Low Earth Orbits. We are investigating a number of scientific use cases in astronomy and geoscience as well as the feasibility of providing IoT services from the constellation.
