We're building a satellite!

34x10x10, that's what we've got. Not meters, feet, nor inches, but centimeters. It really ain't that much if you want to fit everything. 4kg max too.

The Canadian Satellite Design Challenge

Competition for teams of university students to design and build a small science research satellite known as a “cubesat” or “nanosatellite”.

This year, University of Waterloo won! Yay!

Why?

We're building a payload that serves amateur radio operators! It's essentially a ham selfie stick! You place a request with some coordinates attached, then the next time our satellite is over that location we will take a photo and send it down over UHF with SSTV.
