CUBESAT WORKSHOP

NASA ELaNa Program and CubeSat 101
 

Scott Higginbotham will provide an overview of the NASA ELaNa Program and present NASA's new CubeSat 101 manual.

Science Missions and System Engineering

 

Get ready to develop a "mock" science mission and implement that mission in an Arduino flat-sat. 

 

Mission Operations and Ground Stations

 

Learn about the capabiltes and experineces from CalPoly, basics  of ground station set up and operations, and have a live remote track demostation. 

Project Management and Documentation Control
 
How do you coordinate teams of students over multiple years and get a satellite out the other end?  Many students hate documentation, but when  students come and go, documentation can save your..... satellite!

 

Components of a CubeSat Design
(breakout sessions)
 

This section can go anywhere; it really depends on what topics you are most interested in. Are you interested in communications, attitude control and determination, imaging, power management or data logging? We want student involvement to start the discussions by being a facilitator, if you have any experience working on CubeSats you are perfect for students to learn from. Trial and error and solutions to any problems are welcomed topic points.
