SmartFish is a fish shaped airplane. The project is about building a complete navigation system and ground station for it. The first big experiment will be an autonomous flight from a balloon at 15km of altitude. The experiment is part of the RexusBexus campaign for 2009. Here there is more information about the project and the team.

Another milestone comes
Posted on October 29th, 2009 No commentsGreat news from the Space-Fish team!
Kamil is following the building of the new Space-Fish molds closely. They are being manufactured at NB Composites, located at Warsaw, and we are hoping to have the molds in Madrid by the end of November.
That means the Space-Fish will become a reality soon.
Space-Fish CAD model
Along with the molds, we are also proud to announce that a new important sponsor is coming. We are currently talking with the Von Karman Institute to take the Space-Fish into their wind tunnel. That will allow us to characterize an accurate model, allowing us to perform better simulations and control algorithms.
We also want to announce that the new documentation version is ready, (unbelievable!, one day before the death-line!). We looked back to our first version which we delivered to ESA… and we have to say that the documentation has evolved amazingly in the rigth way, we hope to do easier the review by the experts with this new document version, so the feedback will be clearer doing easier the project progress.

You will realize that the Space-Fish logo chosen wasn’t the most voted one… well… after all…this is a Spanish democracy.
