LASARsat
LASARsat, an idea developed by Czech high school students, is a 1U CubeSat launched into Earth’s orbit by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. The project, recognized by NASA in the Conrad Challenge, aims to use lasers for satellite repairs and addressing space debris. It serves as a target for laser testing in collaboration with the HiLASE laser center. Equipped with photodiodes, a plasma detector, and corner reflectors, LASARsat studies laser effects to help mitigate space debris risks.
