I'm sure many of you will be familar with the CubeSat project, in fact some of you may well have worked on one.
So lets hear it, what would you do with a 10x10x10cm 1kg payload in a CubeSat, beside the obvious like stick a camera in it and photograph your house. Who knows, perhaps one day we may see the launch of the USF CubeSat |

Incredible, amazing, astounding!!! I have no words to explain my excitation when I've read this subject! So, it mean that anybody can build a 10 cm cube sized satellite?! It's incredible, I never have heard this adventure. It's so ... surealistic! A few days ago, I planned (just for fun), to build a micro-spacetelescope (mini-hubble in other word ). After, the launch will be did by Ariane5. But, If I have a good understanding of the Cubesat story, it will be cheaper by using the Space Shuttle? So, is ti possible to have more details on the how-to of the Cubesats, I'm very very very interest. -------------------- |

Perhaps the way forward *isn't* with solar cells, but with solar-powered Stirling Engines; pointing might be fun, though...
...in fact, simply flying a Stirling Engine in it's own right would be a good engineering mission! http://www.gyroscope.com/d.asp?product=SOLARSTIRLING Bob Shaw -------------------- Remember: Time Flies like the wind - but Fruit Flies like bananas!

Another interesting prospect is on-line machining - design the CAD model, hit [Enter] and a week later your components arrive...
