SunbYte V

SunbYte 5 is our most ambitious project yet - with modular design and multiple instruments including an imager and a spectrograph

Off

Aim

SunbYte V started in 2024. We have 5 teams: Science and Optics, Structures, Electronics, Software, and Outreach. The team lead of SunbYte IV is present and welcomed a new academic lead. We are holding weekly meetings in each team as well as leadership meetings.

Summary

SunbYte is back, with a bigger ambition than ever. We are redesigning the payload with a modular structure, adding multiple instruments, and forging new partnerships around the globe.
