- Weight (<20kg)
- Power Output
- Because of the nature of small devices, the forces needed for movement are minimal, certainly in a frictionless environment (space).
- Power Supply
- Enough power must be supplied to the components of our "Nano-Sat" without contributing too much weight to our overall constraint (<20 kg).
- Autonomous Positioning
- Our "Nano-Sat" must be able to "sense" where it is in relation to the target (infrared source) and use this information to compute the movements necessary to reach its final destination.
- Remote Control Software
- Wireless control for a more accurate representation of the future "Nano-Satellites".
- Minimum 1 Degree of Freedom of Movement
- Fuel Efficiency
