The Florida Space Grant Consortium (FSGC) through a NASA Workforce
Training Program has developed a student satellite design competition.
This competition requires students to design and build an engineering
model of a satellite, in the CubeSat configuration, in a school year.
Then the finalist will be supported for construction and launch costs.
Earlier this December designs were received from three different Florida
Universities. It is hoped that this competition can be expanded into
other states and geographical areas in the coming years. A workshop to
fulfill the aforementioned goals is being planned, to provide a platform
for the presentation of the accomplishments of this competition, and to
help spread current state-of-the-art technologies and techniques of the
CubeSat community.
This workshop will be held on the morning of January 21, 2005 at Kennedy
Space Center (KSC), FL. The workshop will start at 9:00 AM, with light
refreshments beforehand, and will last into the afternoon, depending on
the number of presenters. Lunch will be provided to the attendees.
There is also the possibility of a tour of KSC facilities immediately
following the workshop for those that might be interested. Please RSVP
by January 7th if your group would like to attend or give a brief
presentation. Please direct any questions or requests to
funsat@mail.ucf.edu.
Also, if your university is interested in the possibility of extending
this competition outside of Florida please let the FUNSat team know and
they would be happy to discuss that possibility for next years
competition.
