The University of Texas at Austin Tower will be lit orange with a No. 1 to honor the UT Satellite Design Lab for its first place win in the national University Nanosatellite Program competition in January for a small satellite called ARMADILLO. The ASE/EM research group consists of more than 50 students who worked for two years on the ARMADILLO (Atmosphere Related Measurements and Detection of submILLimeter Objects) mission. The University Nanosatellite Program competition, sponsored by the United States Air Force, selects ten universities to design and build their own satellites over two years under a sponsored research grant. At the end of two years, the projects are judged and the winning satellites are selected for launch into space.
