Our Meeting Schedule
Project Tuxedo has been delayed to the Fall Semester due to logistical issues. Read all about the mission on our Current Missions page.
Our Executive Board comprises five leadership positions: President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Program Manager. Additionally, we have several chair positions, who help ensure the organization runs smoothly.
Our CubeSat program is composed of dedicated members currently working on two CubeSat projects, a Ground Station for communicating with future missions, and a Helmhotz Cage for ground testing of satellite systems.
The CubeCats Applied Training in Space Exploration (CATiSE) Program was designed to teach new members systems engineering, project leadership skills, and technical skills for missions in space-like environments.
A 1U CubeSat mission serving as an education and outreach platform for local students, which will also study the radiation mitigation effects of carbon-carbon composites.
A 3U CubeSat mission using a commercial-off-the-shelf multispectral imager to study harmful algal blooms on the Great Lakes for at least a year.
An open-source, 3-axis Helmholtz Cage design for magnetic field testing of CubeSats. Also includes an "two-and-a-half" degree-of-freedom air-bearing table.
