The TJ REVERB project is creating a best practice document for building a Nanosatellite while building a 2U CubeSat that compares multiple radio systems in Lower Earth Orbit. Additionally, TJ REVERB serves as an educational vehicle for teaching students the principles of systems engineering. Beyond the rich learning experience designing and constructing a satellite provides the students at Thomas Jefferson HSST, the team is committed to a robust local, national, and international outreach program.
Helmholtz Coil
Testing & Development
Shown is a set of 6 coils that produce a magnetic field that can replicate that of space. This is incredibly useful for testing equipment like magnetorquers. Students built this from scratch!

Simulation
Development
As part of our early development plan, we ran complex simulations on our satellite model to predict he orbital path and lifetime of TJREVERB.

CAD Construction
Development
Starting without a kit, we had to design and model our satellite before we entered the later stages of development.
Our 3D printers let us bridge the gap between our virtual CAD models and a physical satellite.
BACK
Complete Flatsat
Testing & Development
A flatsat is a flat version of a satellite. All the boards are laid out as opposed to stacked.
This gives us the ability to develop and test smoothely, without having to worry about the chaos of stacked boards.

Original REVERB
Development & Brand
Oh, how far we've come!
TJREVERB was originally intended to be a 1U satellite, but was upgraded to 2U.

EPS
Testing & Development
Here is a picture of the team getting hands-on with hardware.
The EPS is the heart of the system. It distributes power to all components of the satellite!
