At Princeton Satellite Systems, we love a good research project! You can see from our blog posts and products that our interests and capabilities range from interplanetary space missions to student-built CubeSats, iPhone apps to home solar power systems. All of our research contracts and consulting services utilize our commercial software products, and we integrate our results back into our software. Use the R&D menu to see posts associated with some of our ongoing projects, including Direct Fusion Drive (DFD) and attitude control systems.
