Optical Telescope

The Optical Telescope was built from scratch by 12 members with little to no engineering experience. A prototype mirror of 3.5” and a final telescope mirror of 12” were constructed, and the first telescope was presented to K-12 students in New Haven.

High Performance UAV
2015-2016 Yale Aerospace 2015-2016 Yale Aerospace

High Performance UAV

The High-Performance UAV project concentrated on designing, constructing, and flying a fixed-wing uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) and ground station capable of receiving a live video and telemetry stream. High performance metrics included time aloft, maximum airspeed, distance flown, and adherence to the designed flight plan. These efforts aligned with the aerospace industry today, creating more sustainable, efficient, and environmentally sound air transportation methods.

CubeSat

CubeSat

The CubeSat team is designing and building a CubeSat that will carry a cosmic ray detector to measure high-energy electrons originating from the sun and outside the galaxy. The team will collect information on the density and count of these particles and make inferences to the energy of the particles. Commended at White House Astronomy Night 2015 ahead of its first meeting, the corner-stone project has inspired generations of Yale students to learn the values of long-term engineering in the march towards a 2024 NASA Handoff.
