Cubesat Mission 2: Designing Cubesat and Pitching

Students will continue their planning and design of a CubeSat prototype and corresponding project proposal to The Aerospace Corporation. They previously selected a human impact to study and learned how CubeSats can be used to collect data on their selected human impact. In this lesson, students will determine the specific CubeSat payloads they will need to accomplish their data collection. They will add these components to their CubeSat prototype and include their payload selection and justification in their project proposal to Aerospace. To finalize their learning, students will learn how their CubeSat will enter space and orbit the planet. They will finalize their project proposal and present their ideas to determine which research project will be selected for funding by Aerospace.
