Ragnarok has moved to a larger permanent facility in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC for satellite systems research and development.

March 1st, 2017: Ragnarok is pleased to announce that Thomas Jefferson High School (TJHS) of Alexandria, Virginia has been awarded their TJ REVERB NASA CubeSat CSLI flight to be deployed from the space station. The educational mission consists of exciting STEM radio experiments for satellite tracking and APRS amateur radio for satellite control. In an effort to promote the STEM education out-reach and ensure the high school’s mission is a success, Ragnarok is proud to donate an entire guidance, navigation, and control unit to the TJ REVERB mission cause. In addition to the donated satellite hardware, originally designed for the 6U Lunar Mission from the NASA Lunar CubeQuest Competition, Ragnarok is providing technical expertise and satellite design mentoring to the students involved.

Gearing up for GT2, Ragnarok held a preliminary design review at Emergent Space Technologies, November 20th, 2015.

Thanks to all the participants, both in person and remote, and the valuable feedback!

Special thanks to Emergent for hosting us and for their valuable contributions to our design for the CubeQuest Challenge.

Ragnarok (Mike, Luigi, and Kyle) attended (with Kyle and Luigi presenting) NASA’s Cube Quest Challenge Summit II, November 18-19, 2015. It was great to hear the wide variety of everyone’s designs. Good luck to everyone in GT2!

NewSpace.nyc hosted a panel discussion on the experience of attending the 2015 SmallSat Conference in Logan, UT, including representatives from Ragnarok, RocketStar, and NewSpace.nyc itself. Anyone in the New York area should check out NewSpace.nyc for regularly scheduled interesting presentations and discussions.

Ragnarok is proud to announce our company’s registration in NASA’s Cube Quest Challenge. The Cube Quest Challenge will provide 3 teams with a free ride to GEO (~26,000 km altitude) aboard NASA’s SLS rocket. Once at that altitude, teams will decide to compete in any of the following challenges for prize money:

1. Lunar Derby (Achieve Lunar Orbit between 8,300 and 400 km lunar altitude)
2. Lunar Communications (Most aggregate data transmitted back to Earth within 30 minutes and 28-days)
3. Deep Space Communications ( Similar to Lunar Communications, but at least 4 million kilometers from Earth)
