The '''''Canadian Satellite Design Challenge (CSDC)''''' requires teams to design, build, test and launch a 3U CubeSat in lower earth orbit with a star tracker payload.<br>

The MSG believes that one of the most adequate methods of learning engineering is by working on projects thereby learning the design process in a team. The CSDC group provides the opportunity for students to learn through designing and building. By competing in the CSDC, students gain experience in many engineering disciplines, they will learn how to work in a team and will gain various soft skills.<br>

====Power====

Power management consists of choosing the right solar panels, batteries for our satellite such that we maximize the energy that can be used by every sub-systems. They also make a power budget for each and different operation modes which will dictate how power gets distributed over the different elements.
