We learn by doing. And doing by learning. hehe

A brief history

Founded in 2018, Orbit NTNU is Norway’s largest student organization dedicated to space technology. Based at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), we give students hands-on experience in designing, building, and operating small satellites. Through projects like SelfieSat and FramSat, our members work across disciplines such as electronics, computer science, mechanical design, and communications—bridging the gap between academia and the space industry.
