  1. Fueling Appalachian Society with Science and Technology Knowledge Appalachian IDEAS Showcase Radisson Plaza Lexington, Kentucky 14 April 2007 http://www.kysat.com

  2. The Need, The Fuel • Appalachia lacks knowledge resources to create and sustain high profit margin businesses. • High Profit Margin Business Segments • Science • Technology • Engineering • Math • Successful Infusion of STEM Must Be • Fun • Value-Packed • Accessible

  3. The Fire: KySat1 • High-Tech Satellite Designed and Built in Kentucky • High-Speed Digital Radio • Low-Speed Digital Radio • Voice Communications • High-Resolution Camera • Magnetic Stabilization • Spurring Human Interest • 10 years on orbit (payloads 12-18 mos.) • 10,000 trips over Kentucky • 300 miles above the Earth • 17,500 miles per hour • Regional and Statewide Project • Appalachia: Morehead, KCTCS, UK • Commonwealth: Murray, Western, UoL

  4. Self-Sustainable Production • Increase STEM Knowledgebase • Develop Curriculum for STEM Education • Provide KySat Ground Station Hardware • Identify KySat Mission Support Partners

  5. Financials & Implementation • Financial Sustainability • Teacher Workshops • Commercial Payloads • Implementation • Kentucky Virtual Library • Council on Post-Secondary Education • Kentucky Science Teachers Association

  6. Management Team • Public • Council on Postsecondary Education • Kentucky Space Grant Consortium • Private • Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation • Kentucky Science and Engineering Foundation • Academic • Appalachia: Morehead, KCTCS, UK • Commonwealth: Murray, Western, UoL

  7. Market and Growth • Market Analysis • Students lacking interest in STEM • Scalability and Growth • KySat Consortium • KySat1, KySat2, KySat Sub Orbital,…..KySat Lunar

  8. ______________ Virtual Network Partner “ First, the vision for space exploration is a multi-generational program. It will require decades. The people who will be taking us to Mars and beyond are in elementary and middle school. ” - NASA Administrator Mike Griffin 6/10/2005 http://www.kysat.com
