  1. UH CubeSat Project Organizational Group Meeting November 28, 2001

  2. What is a Cube Sat?

  3. A Future Vision for Cube Sats • Battlefield Communications • Mission to the Moon 2005-2006 • 52-Small-Satellite Constellation around Mars • Colonization of the Moon and Mars withRoving Robots

  4. Modular Design

  5. Agenda • Anatomy of a Cube Sat • Proposed Organizational Chart, Schedule, and Budget • Mission Brainstorming • Formation of Subsystem Teams

  6. Anatomy of a Cube Sat (Aaron Ohta provided a tour of the various satellite subsystems as shown on the Montana State University web page http://www.ssel.montana.edu/merope/ )

  7. CubeSat Subsystems • SCI - Science • Primary scientific mission instrumentation • TTC - Tracking, Telemetry, and Command • Communication link between spacecraft and ground • DCH - Data and Command Handling • Spacecraft computer hardware and software • ADS - Analog and Digital Sensing • Sensors for temperature, pressure, GPS, etc. • MSA - Mechanical Structures and Analysis • Mechanical and thermal analysis; antenna deployment

  8. Project Director Co-Director Chief Technical Advisor Faculty Advisor Administrative Support Industrial Advisory Board Proposed Organizational Chart Science Tracking, Telemetry, Command Data and Command Handling Analog/ Digital Sensors Mechanical Structures and Analysis Advisor: Bullock Shiroma Dobry Malhotra Coimbra Nejhad

  9. Tentative Schedule 2001 2002 2003

  10. Tentative Budget

  11. Project Director/Co-Director • Desired Qualifications • Will remain at UH through Spring 2003 • Strong leadership and management skills • Submit application to Dr. Shiroma via e-mail by 12/5/01 • Resume emphasizing leadership experience • One-page narrative describing motivation for applying • Letter of recommendation by a CubeSat faculty member • Applications are reviewed by faculty advisors, posted on the web page, and students submit e-mail vote by 12/12/01

  12. Scientific Mission Ideas (Dr. Bullock shared some ideas on possible missions for the satellite. These included: atmospheric science, imaging, data compression, propulsion systems, optical gyroscopes, study of solar flares, diagnostic monitoring of other satellites)

  13. Subsystems Team Formation (Each faculty member shared a few words on the possible opportunities available in each subsystem. The students then broke up into the five teams shown on the organizational chart.)
