Orbita CanSat & IREC

2026–27 · orbita.notazizelse.xyz
ABSTRACT

I was selected as lead electronics engineer for Uzbekistan's national team at the International Space Tournament "Orbita", where teams build a 3U CubeSat around a supplied kit, add their own payload, and fly it to the stratosphere on a balloon. I'm also on our IREC rocketry team, working on thrust control.

Our Orbita team won internationally last year, before I joined. That one is theirs. I'm the new lead.

3So far

The season has just started. Before drawing anything I wrote research: a playbook on how Orbita works, a technician's study of possible missions, and a study on using the camera as a real instrument instead of a photo taker. Together they go through dozens of mission ideas, what's actually new, and how each would be built. They're below in full. The flight PCB is what I'm drawing now.
