CP6, also known as CP6 CubeSat, CalPoly CP-6, PolySat-6 or PolySat CP6 is a single-unit CubeSat which was built and operated by the California Polytechnic State University (CalPoly). It was primarily intended to perform a technology demonstration mission.
In 1999, California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) professor Jordi Puig-Suari and Bob Twiggs, a professor at Stanford University Space Systems Development Laboratory, developed the CubeSat specifications to promote and develop the skills necessary for the design, manufacture, and testing of small satellites intended for low Earth orbit ...
DAVE is a 1U CubeSat spacecraft, measuring approximately 10x10x11cm. The spacecraft was integrated into a PPOD (Poly Picosatellite Orbital Deployer) alongside the University of Central Florida's SurfSat. [9] Fixed solar panels on the sides of the spacecraft provide power to the avionics and transmitter.
In 2022, Puig-Suari was inducted into the Space Foundation's Space Technology Hall of Fame for his work developing and popularizing the CubeSat standard. [5] That same year, Puig-Suari was also awarded the Creu de Sant Jordi , one of the highest civil distinctions awarded in Catalonia, by the Generalitat de Catalunya .
SBUDNIC was launched to test Arduino Nano and other commercial off-the-shelf technology in space, using a simple, open-source design. [2]An ambitious project is the QB50, an international network of 50 CubeSats for multi-point by different universities and other teams, in-situ measurements in the lower thermosphere (90–350 km) and re-entry research.
Cal Poly’s annual Design Village competition begins Friday, April 20, 2018, when students will design, built and inhabit structures in Poly Canyon on the university’s campus in San Luis Obispo ...
Robert J. Twiggs (born November 27, 1935) is an American professor of Astronautics and Space Science at Morehead State University. [1] He is responsible, along with Jordi Puig-Suari of California Polytechnic State University, for co-inventing the CubeSat reference design for miniaturized satellites [2] [3] which became an Industry Standard for design and deployment of the satellites.
CubeSat separation occurred 98 minutes after launch, and beacons from RAX-2 were heard shortly thereafter. This was a multi-payload mission with five other CubeSats, M-Cubed , AubieSat-1 , DICE-1 , DICE-2 , and Explorer-1 .
