MXL - F Prime Team

A team creating stratospheric and space-based missions using F Prime at the University of Michigan.

Welcome to the online webpage for the Michigan eXploration Lab (MXL)'s F Prime team. This team focuses on using JPL's open-source flight software framework, F Prime, to design software for stratospheric and other space mission concepts.

The team's current focus is on applying Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN) within F Prime. The research involves determining the efficacy of DTNs in stratospheric missions, and providing a testbed to demonstrate smart data routing in ad-hoc/changing environments.
