CUBESAT PROJECT -Collaborating Schools -Launch Opportunity -Information Sharing -Scheduled Tasks -Future session discussions

Collaborating Schools University of Tokyo Tokyo Inst. of Tech Soka Univ. U of Hawaii U of North Dakota Nihon Univ. Arizona Univ. All other interested schools

Milestone1 Short term –Communication between universities, website etc… –Organization (Launch…) –Publicity

Info Sharing Forum for ideas Mailing list Web page for information sharing –For new schools –Current developers share ideas/problems –For expanding CubeSat community

Milestone2 Mid term –Establish launch provider (individually, together) –Technical mission (Communication between CubeSat) Test different protocol, develop standardized comm –Technical mission (Active stabilization & control)

Launch Opportunity Get all schools together –Negotiate a collaborative agreement w/ Launch Provider –Team effort better than single school *Regular launch opportunity is needed.

Milestone3 Long term –Termination system (Debris Problem) Balloons (to get ballistic coefficient) Simple burst thruster Low orbital altitude –Deeper space missions Discussion with scientist/needs

Future Mission Tethered communication Imaging –Of each other (at the back of the moon?) –Telescoping array –Adaptive / reconfigurable –Multiple camera / frequency Antenna –Adaptive / reconfigurable Moon mission –Redundancy, Lower cost –Imaging –Uses existing technology ・ Mars mission -Perform “extension” missions / purpose -Imaging (Landing)

Scheduled Tasks U of Hawaii –Develop list, distribute that list U of Tokyo –Contact Cal-Poly, find other interested schools U of North Dakota –Contact Space Grant w/ initial ideas All other schools –Contribute as needed
