2019 ECE Gilchrist Mi-TEE
Cade Wright, Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Student, works on the antennae of the Mi-TEE cubesate inside the Climate & Space Research Building at
2455 Hayward Street in Ann Arbor, MI. on March 31, 2019.
Mi-TEE (Miniature Tether Electrodynamics Experiment) is a proof of concept run by Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Brian Gilchrist and is a part of the University of Michigan's Multidisciplinary Design Program that will help space explorers better understand the feasibility of a novel propulsion technology – miniature electrodynamic (ED) tethers – as means to provide propellantless propulsion to new classes of very small satellites known as picosats and femtosats.
A NASA space mission for MiTEE - 1 is planned for the first quarter of 2020.
