Built by students at TU Berlin, TechnoSat tests miniaturized satellite components under actual space flight conditions. Its passive attitude control system and experimental sensors have been validated on orbit and feed directly into Germany's next generation of small satellite systems — university satellites doing the hardware qualification work that makes future missions reliable.
