Hacking Picosatellites: A DIY Guide
Quub, Inc., a small company in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is looking to build and fly a constellation of microsatellites to monitor Earth’s environment in real-time. Nathaniel Evry, their Chief Research Officer, will be joining the Hack Chat to discuss the process of building hardware that can withstand the rigors of launch and perform tasks in space using consumer-grade technology and modularized construction. The advent of the CubeSat format and increased tempo of launches has pushed the barriers to private, low-budget launches way down.
