ARLISS: A Rocket Launch for
International Student Satellites
The ARLISS program is designed to provide an
educational experience to students in the design,
flight and data analysis of a space experiment.
This program is to prepare students for an exciting,
technical challenge that may lead to launching
space experiments into low earth orbits and
beyond.
ARLISS Payload Requirement
1,050 g
φ65mm×120mm
350 g
Typical mission sequence (original idea)
Launch site:
Black Rock desert, Nevada,
U.S.A.
Ground station
CanSats 1999-2003
“Come Back Competition” Since 2002
Compete with autonomous navigation of a payload to
reach a specified point on the ground (the goal is given
by latitude and longitude data.)
GPS navigation became a key technology.
