“You can go on the Web right now and buy components to build your own CubeSat (mini satellite),” says Tony Pellerin of the @csa_asc Learn what Pellerin’s going to share with audiences at May’s Open Dialogue Panel Live event

Interested in #space and #satellites? Looking for a great summer job where you get to prepare a #cubesat for launch and collaborate with the @csa_asc and other universities across the country? We are hiring 3 research assistants for this summer! Apply here https://t.co/I6mPlNs03X

What are CubeSats? 🔳 They are a now popular type of satellite. Why? Because they are a faster, smaller, smarter and cheaper option than previous types of satellites.

Who says size doesn’t matter? 😉

Thank you @CBCJRobertson
for visiting us during the @CubeSatUPEI
review with the @csa_asc
last week @UPEI https://t.co/9HJVs7tNP1
We're excited to be entering the testing and assembly phase for the project! @EngineeringUPEI

[SpudNik-1 @CubeSatUPEI]

A big thank you to @Siemens software for supporting our team! Thanks to your sponsorship, we're able to model the thermal effects of low earth orbit on our CubeSat.

Amazing contribution from @csa_asc to the @NASAWebb telescope. Excited to see this in action in 2022!

✨ The Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS) is the most sophisticated guidance sensor of any telescope ever built. It locks on to bright stars in deep space to keep Webb's images sharp. 🔭

☀️ Our #ParkerSolarProbe has touched the Sun!

For the first time in history, a spacecraft has flown through the Sun's atmosphere, the corona. Here's what it means: https://t.co/JOPdn7GTcv

While SpudNik-1 is in orbit, we need to be able to communicate with it to send commands and receive data. Our final team was responsible for developing the end-to-end communications including a ground station to be installed on the roof of our building. https://t.co/OQ5mt9J3rp

We have SpudNik-1 groups today at the UPEI Engineering Design Expo. They are live and ready to answer questions about their subsystems! https://t.co/j8qu1uN7Ix ##UPEIEngExpo21 #sustainabledesign #cubesat

The mission of SpudNik-1 is to capture visible band images of PEI for precision agriculture applications. This requires an optical imaging system and of course the mechanical structure needed to integrate all of the components. https://t.co/zlYz1XMswH

[SpudNik-1 @CubeSatUPEI]

We had four subteams working on SpudNik-1 as part of their 3rd and 4th year design projects. Come say hi and ask some questions at this years virtual UPEI Engineering Design Expo on April 21 at 1pm ADT https://t.co/j8qu1v4IA5 #UPEIEngExpo21

It happened. Today our #MarsHelicopter proved that powered, controlled flight from the surface of another planet is possible. It takes a little ingenuity, perseverance, and spirit to make that opportunity a reality: https://t.co/oT3rrBm6wj

Congratulations to Stephen, our lead #SystemsEngineer!

[Grant @upeiGrant]

A slightly belated congratulations to Stephen Peters who successfully defended his MSc-SDE a few weeks ago! It was too bad we couldn't be together in person, but he did a great job, and there were some very interesting discussions on conceptual #design and #systems #engineering

New member on boarding today for SpudNik-1! @csa_asc @esa #CanadianCubesatProject #cubesat

[SpudNik-1 @CubeSatUPEI]

The SpudNik-1 team is continuing to work hard toward our goal of a successful satellite! To celebrate, we have updated our logo, because unfortunately we cannot send a potato to space!

[SpudNik-1 @CubeSatUPEI]

The SpudNik-1 Structure & Payload team will be presenting their internal PDR presentation to the professors and technicians @EngineeringUPEI to #update them on their #progress! This will happen November 26 at 9:50 if anyone would like to virtually attend. #CubeSat #CCP

[SpudNik-1 @CubeSatUPEI]

Special thanks to @UNB for hosting the #CCP #PDR. The @EngineeringUPEI team had a great time networking with the other schools. Thanks to both @csa_asc and @NanoRacks for attending and giving great feedback. We are thankful for all the support!
