Project Kororā

Victoria University of Wellington's first student-run space mission, bringing together more than 100 students to develop a 3U CubeSat. Its technical teams work on spacecraft structures, a miniature Hall-effect thruster and hollow-cathode prototype, avionics, power, communications, flight software, attitude determination, trajectory analysis, ground systems, and mission control, with Flatsat and weather-balloon tests forming near-term mission milestones.
