Hey everyone! As a part of the Samsung Youth Editor Contest we will be holding a Space Technology Symposium!
You can come and view our current project along with previous ones. There will be several displays showcasing how space technology affects our everyday lives and how important the development of space technology, and the space industry is.
This is an excellent opportunity for you to talk to team members if you are interested in joining the team and working on the design of a lunar excavator.
For more information regarding the event, or joining the team, please email
pres@usst.caEvent Details:
- Friday march 15, 2013
- 5:00-8:00 pm
- 1B79 Engineering (57 Campus Drive)
See you there!
Our video for the Samsung Youth Editor is now available! Check it out on the team’s Youtube Channel.
The USST was recently accepted into Samsung Canada’s Youth Editors 2013 Top 17. Through this we received a Samsung Smart PC ATIV Pro, along with some other merchandise and financial support. Check out the Samsung Website, where this was announced. Follow us on Facebook to receive updates as we progress through the contest.
The team has begun working on its newest project, the design and construction of a lunar excavator. The goal of this project is to design a robot that can be remotely controlled, or autonomously operate on its own to excavate (pick up) the sediment on the lunar surface. This robot is called a lunabot. The team hopes to, and is planning on participating in the annual NASA Lunabotics Mining Competition.
We are pleased to announce that former team president, Aarya Shahsavar, gave a successful talk on the new frontiers of space at TEDxWinnipeg on September 13th at the Winnipeg Art Gallery! To view his TED talk check out his video here.
Farewell to all of our supporters, sponsors, and donors from our outgoing executive and graduating members. The new elected executive and current team members thank you for your continued support.
If you happen to be in Washington, DC in the near future, check out our team photo in the Canadian Embassy’s Exhibit: “Canada: 50 Years in Space”.

We are very happy to announce that the USST will be taking part in this year’s Experiential Learning Expo! This is an on-campus event which promotes the different ways in which students are able to apply the skills they learn in class — and what better example of this than the USST?
Our teammates will be at the expo (located in Upper Place Riel) from 10am-3pm this Thursday, March 15.
If you’re interested in taking an up close and personal look at the prototype of our nanosatellite, stop by our booth!
Our teammates have returned from the critical design review in Ottawa! They successfully presented the design of the USST’s nanosatellite to a panel of judges at the Canadian Space Agency for the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge. Our team has received the results from this exciting venture and are looking forward to sharing them with the public over the course of the next week. The press release can be seen here. Stay tuned for media coverage!
