The electrical power system is
checked in the STF-1 clean room.
TMC is responsible for the satellite’s
hardware and flight software development.
The satellite and flight software are currently undergoing development and testing in
Fairmont, WV. When finished, STF-1 will
be an autonomous space satellite capable
of performing various science missions.
“TMC is proud that the STF-1 CubeSat is
being designed and built in West Virginia,”
says Wade Linger, president of TMC. “We
are excited that our software simulation
work for the NASA IV&V program can
be leveraged for small space satellites.”
TMC firmly believes software simulation for NASA missions will continue to
improve safety and reliability while making
cost-effective use of taxpayer dollars.
