The FUNcube-1 satellite will be used for the education of high school students. The Delfi-n3Xt was developed by students. It took them nearly five years to build the satellite at TU Delft. The Delfi - satellite program of the TU Delft is partly intended for research on rocket propulsion . The satellites also have an antenna that will enable radio amateurs to make contact. A few years ago TU Delft sent its own satellite into space for the first time.
