NTU is space-bound once more. Keeping a nanosatellite deployed by Elon Musk’s SpaceX in orbit is a thruster developed by NTU spin-off Aliena, whose technology was test-bedded in the NTU Satellite Research Centre. The startup is also tackling a new frontier in space with a fridge-sized microsatellite that can orbit the earth at a lower altitude than conventional microsatellites. This will make it possible for a Singapore-designed space camera to take sharp images of objects as small as a delivery parcel. Snap!
