Cal Poly students are currently preparing three mini satellites – or CubeSats – to be launched into space. Here, Brigitte Petersen, an aerospace engineering student who is the project manager for two of the CubeSat projects, shows one of the mini satellites on a workbench inside the PolySat lab. The two CubeSats she is working on will address eliminating space debris while also measuring radiation in deeper space. So far ten CubeSats built at Cal Poly have been launched into space.
