CUBESAT PROJECT -Collaborating Schools -Launch Opportunity -Information Sharing -Scheduled Tasks -Future session discussions
Collaborating Schools • University of Tokyo • Tokyo Inst. of Tech • Soka Univ. • U of Hawaii • U of North Dakota • Nihon Univ. • Arizona Univ. • All other interested schools
Milestone1 • Short term • Communication between universities, website etc… • Organization (Launch…) • Publicity
Info Sharing • Forum for ideas • Mailing list • Web page for information sharing • For new schools • Current developers share ideas/problems • For expanding CubeSat community
Milestone2 • Mid term • Establish launch provider (individually, together) • Technical mission (Communication between CubeSat) • Test different protocol, develop standardized comm • Technical mission (Active stabilization & control)
Launch Opportunity • Get all schools together • Negotiate a collaborative agreement w/ Launch Provider • Team effort better than single school *Regular launch opportunity is needed.
Milestone3 • Long term • Termination system (Debris Problem) • Balloons (to get ballistic coefficient) • Simple burst thruster • Low orbital altitude • Deeper space missions • Discussion with scientist/needs
Future Mission • Tethered communication • Imaging • Of each other (at the back of the moon?) • Telescoping array • Adaptive / reconfigurable • Multiple camera / frequency • Antenna • Adaptive / reconfigurable • Moon mission • Redundancy, Lower cost • Imaging • Uses existing technology ・Mars mission -Perform “extension” missions / purpose -Imaging (Landing)
Scheduled Tasks • U of Hawaii • Develop email list, distribute that list • U of Tokyo • Contact Cal-Poly, find other interested schools • U of North Dakota • Contact Space Grant w/ initial ideas • All other schools • Contribute as needed
