Micro-particle Unidirectional Sensor for Ice Collisions (MUSIC)

Description: Team MUSIC is tasked with developing a prototype of an acoustic sensor for the company ASTROBi. The purpose of this sensor is to be sent in low orbit around one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus, which expels plumes of ice from the interior liquid layer under its surface. This sensor is tasked with determining when the satellite comes in contact with these icy particles and characterizing their size, weight, density, etc. These particles will then be sampled by the holographic microscope being designed by an adjacent team.

Sponsor: Astrobi
