What is Zenith?
We are |
We love space
We are an extracurricular group from the University of São Paulo (EESC-USP) focused on building satellites and aerospace probes.
Uniting around 60 students from the University of São Paulo (USP) and the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), we are capable of building the hardware, software and structures needed for our projects.
The Beginning
Zenith was born from Lucas Fonseca's idea, member of the Rosetta mission, to develop a CubeSat inside the university. Since 2013, undergraduates started meeting with Lucas and studying the space.
But, only in 2014, the group consolidated itself. With connections to two researchers from the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS), Zenith started developing an experiment in high altitudes and it never stopped going forwards.
Our values
Science
Fuel national scientific research and facilitate the access to science.
People
Zenith has an horizontal hierarchy system, where all members have a voice, but distinct responsabilities.
Professional training
Members have the opportunity to develop technical abilities in our group, practicing their soft skills.
