Description
We are the Team UB-SPACE from Bremen and we are selected to participate in project cycle 09 of the REXUS/ BEXUS program!
We go for clean space! We are the Team UB-SPACE (University of Bremen - Image Processing for Determination of relative Satellite Motion) and our Experiment will fly on the REXUS 21/22 campaign in spring 2017.
The REXUS programme allows university students to carry out scientific experiments on sounding rockets. These rockets reach an altitude of about 90km. During the flight the experiments can be carried out in microgravity.
Our Experiment will deliver series of images, showing an object similar to a moving uncooperative target satellite in a realistic environment, with associated measured data, which can be used for determination of the relative movement of the two objects.
This images and data can be used for developing and verifying systems for determining the position of objects and tracking objects in space.

Incredible how fast the last two weeks have gone by! The campaign is over now and all teams are travelling back home. A lot of data needs to be investigated the next months. We want to thank all REXUS 21/22 teams and everyone responsible for this great two weeks. All the hard work definitely paid off for all of us!
UB-SPACE: Launch of REXUS 21

And we had Lift-Off!! We've been working for more than 1.5 years for this one moment! As we can say now, everything worked out as planned. But we need to wait for the recovery of the payload to investigate the images of the camera system.
Follow us on Twitter for updates on the countdown! Still running at T-1:18h! https://twitter.com/UB_SPACE
