"TracSat Team Wins Third Place in SICK, Inc.'s TiM $10K Challenge"

"Finally, the team from Purdue University created a low-friction test bed to test CubeSats, which are micro satellites. These are commonly used in experiments to demonstrate new technology in Low Earth Orbit. One major application of these micro satellites are rendezvous proximity operations, where a LiDAR sensor is used to accurately track its position to another object. The team developed a low-friction test bed and a micro satellite, TracSat..."
