The Gauss14 is a ~~manportable femtosattelite~~ launch platform.

The Gauss14 is a femtosatellite launch platform.

==Launcher==

Based on the University of Austin Texas design for the SPEAR coilgun. Current goal is to launch projectiles with a mass of up to ~~10g~~.

Based on the University of Austin Texas design for the SPEAR coilgun. Current goal is to launch projectiles with a mass of up to 10 grams.

A SMES device (Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage) is the most viable option for storing the launchers energy.

==Satellite==

The femtosatellite will most likely be based on the CubeSat or ArduSat, electronics must be hardend due to high g-forces during launch (up to several hundred g). Current propulsion proposal is EMFF (Electromagnetic Formation Flight) since it does not use any reaction mass.

====Propulsion====

A propulsion system without reaction mass is preferable. (tether propusion)

A cooperation with other open source or non profit space programs is desireable.

==Projectile==

The first Prototype ~~will be~~ a very cheap, reusable Projectile, launched not electromagnetically but by balloon or conventional chemical propulsion.

The first Prototype is a very cheap, reusable Projectile, launched not electromagnetically but by balloon or conventional chemical propulsion.

===Guidance===

'''Requirements'''

*Highspeed realtime positioning and Trajectory correction

*Radiation, temperature and g-force hardened

*Ultra low weight

*Long range low power radio

First choice for the autopilot would be the [http://1bitsquared.com/products/lisa-s Lisa/S] board for $300.

Alternatively a custom prototype board could also be developed for about €5 to €50.

===Control===

No suitable light weight solution found yet.

===Capsule===

Heat and Radiation shielded light weight capsule with integrated miniaturized parachute system.

====SMES funding====

The SMES is still ~~being actively researched~~ and only a few prototypes are in existence. Aquiring (buying or borrowing one) ~~will~~ be expensive.

The SMES is still in active research and apperently only a few prototypes are in existence. Aquiring (buying or borrowing one) might be difficult and expensive.
