Atlas Mission

Atlas is Eclipse NMBU's largest project so far since its establishment in autumn 2024. The goal is to develop a cubesat that will be launched with Propulse NTNU's next rocket at the end of July 2026.

It will challenge us in all aspects of satellite development and teach us a lot about important topics within space technology.
