  9. Mini Romit I Computer OK Cameras OK Radio OK Solar cells Power supply Ion motor High voltage power supply (10 KV) Status April 2010

  10. Mini Romit 1

  11. Launch: December 2010, from Tonga Provider: Inter Orbital Systems Launch agreement signed, ……half the price paid! CONTRIBUTIONS VERY WELCOME Mini Romit I

  12. Purpose: Show the world and ourselves that we can do it! Launch at low budget Test under real space conditions the command and control and camera module Test the propulsion module Make a world record: 1st time a someone moves a cube sat (more than a few m/s). 1st time a private organization aims for the moon 1st time it is done on a shoe-string budget. Romit cube sat

  13. Computer module

  14. OnBoard Computer (OBC)

  15. Communication module

  16. How to get out of rocket ?

  17. Tonga and power! 

  18. Ion motor power supply

  19. How much thrust is needed ? 30 micro newton: we fall down  31 micro newton: we move away from earth  Thrust level from ion motor

  20. Altitude loss with 30mN

  21. Altitude gain with 31mN

  22. How to get from miniRomit to the Moon ? “Do it again…” Increase rocket fuel on board Incorporate landing module Incorporate wheels.. From Earth orbit to the Moon

  23. Future ideas (speculations!!): Landing assist module (L) 2 x ½ Rover module (rover module A and B) Winning the price…
