Organization

The MIST project is organised as part of the KTH Space Center which coordinates and promotes space-related activity at several KTH departments, with an overarching objective of establishing KTH as a “Space University” and a hub for Swedish space research and technology.

The director of the KTH Space Center is Dr Christer Fuglesang, astronaut (Space Shuttle flights STS-116 and STS-128) and professor of Astronautics at KTH.

The students are organized in sub-teams. The supervisors and teaching assistants for these sub-teams are:

Dr David Broman, Associate Professor at KTH at the department of Software and Computer Systems is coordinating the onboard computer system work, together with the sub-team supervising teaching assistant William Stackenäs.
