The overall winners of the first INNOspace Masters competition
Overall victory in the competition and first place in the category ‘DLR Space Administration Challenge’ went to Sergio Montenegro and Tobias Mikschl (third from left; second from right) from the Computer Science Department at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg. With their Skith project, they developed the world’s first wireless satellite. Until now, all of the individual components of a spacecraft had to be connected to one another via electrical cables. This has changed with Skith. Instead of cables, miniaturised high-speed, real-time radio modules with short ranges are used. This reduces design effort and costs while increasing the satellite’s reliability and flexibility
