I'm back! Took some time off twitter to focus on some personal development as I get ready for launch. Stay tuned for more updates!

[MAXWELL Cubesat @maxwellcubesat]

And that’s a wrap for the spring semester! Thank you to all of the students and professors that helped mature my systems this semester. I look forward to more hard work over the summer!

[MAXWELL Cubesat @maxwellcubesat]

Hello world! I’ve been pretty quiet over the past few months but I am finally waking back up after some promising solar array and power systems testing. Stay tuned for more updates!

One last battery charging test before we do some recharging of our own! #Finals #Selfcare #cubesatNation

The HomeSat has returned! We are excited to be back in the STIg lab and ready to tackle this semester! #CUengineering #BeBoulder

My program manager is on travel this week. His hotel WiFi is 15x slower than my xband radio! #BigData #CUEngineering #SoSad

Now that we are back in the lab, we are excited to get our helmholtz cage up and running for important magnetometer testing! #summer2020 #CUEngineering #BeBoulder

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on 👨‍🚀 ✨.

Two @NASA_Astronauts will make history tomorrow as they launch from American soil for the 1st time since 2011. Get to know #LaunchAmerica astronauts:

Had to move our HomeSat to a new location this week, but happy to report everything is operational! #CUEngineering

@CReppWx Thanks for taking the time to interview us! It was a lot of fun!

[MAXWELL Cubesat @maxwellcubesat]

Our satellite has been gaining interest with the local news stations! Our PM and SE were recently interviewed regarding our work from home efforts!

Unique "home work" for CU Boulder students. Living room becomes makeshift satellite building center. @maxwellcubesat #9wx https://t.co/KyCr0yNNU5

Our satellite was featured in an article regarding our remote development efforts!

Working 100% virtually, a team @CUBoulder is hard at work continuing the construction and programming of a satellite. 🛰️

"We could have given up and waited until we could go back to the lab, but we didn't –– and we're making progress."

Excited to be kicking off our End of Semester Review this morning with the University Nanosat Program! #ESOR #CovidCantStopUs

[James Paul Mason @starfleetjames]

@BryceSpaceTech found that @CUBoulder leads all academic institutions in the US in #cubesat launches and is #3 globally among 190 academic operators https://t.co/ghe3dmSJ5N (page 28)

A rare moment in @BoulderColorado’s history as the Holiday Star has been powered back on to serve as a beacon of hope.

#TheLightShinesOn over @CUBoulder.

Over the last two days, we built up our flatsat for remote access in preparation for CU's quarantine #CUEngineering #SocialDistancing #2dayFlatsat #WorkRemotely
