Contact: Amy Hewes Event Advisory: Fifth Annual International CubeSat Developers WorkshopStarted in 1999, the CubeSat Project began as a collaborative effort between California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo and Stanford University's Space Systems Development Laboratory to provide standards for the design of picosatellites. As a result, picosatellites that are built by students at universities world-wide are launched using a common deployer known as a "P-POD," developed at Cal Poly. 
Who: Cal Poly Aerospace Engineering CubeSat Program and guests, including representatives from 38 universities worldwide, 35 companies, and eight countries, including Belgium, Columbia, England, Germany, Italy, Spain, Taiwan and Turkey. Visiting organizations include Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA, National Science Foundation, SRI International, among others. In all, this event - the largest CubeSat workshop to date - includes over 200 participants. What: The event brings together CubeSat developers from education and industry to share knowledge and experience in developing small satellites, known as "picosatellites," which are extremely cost effective. From cutting edge designs to lessons learned, the workshops provide valuable insight for both new and current members of the international CubeSat community. The event is free and open to members of the media. When: April 9 - 11, 2008 Where: Advanced Technology Center, Building 007 & Bonderson Projects Center, Building 197 Contact: CubeSat or Amy Hewes, ahewes@calpoly.edu, (805) 756-6402 |

“Wow! Cal Poly students get to build satellites and actually launch them!”
I came here from Stanford for my master's and served as the mechanical systems lead on the satellite project. You can't get a hands-on opportunity like this at almost any other university. |
