Satellite dishes atop the Clyde Engineering Building will scan the sky for the CubeSat and download its images and data when in range. Those images and video will be transmitted back to Earth, where engineers, including those at BYU, will be listening. Later, antennas will be triggered, the radio will start up, and the nano satellites will begin sending data.ĭownload this Gallery By clicking this link you agree to our Terms & Conditions The moment BYU’s CubeSats are deployed, they will boot up in less than a second and start recording video. The 10 nanosatellites will be loaded into a variety of tubular dispensers and deployed by a pressurized spring once in space. ELaNa, which stands for Educational Launch of NanoSatellites, are mission complements selected by NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) at Kennedy Space Center that support education, scientific exploration, and technical testing which can be used for future missions. Two versions of the BYU CubeSat will join satellites from eight other universities as part of NASA’s ELaNa 20 mission, scheduled to launch sometime this month from California on Virgin Galactic’s “Cosmic Girl” spacecraft. “In other words, it’s a spacecraft selfie cam.” “It’s a satellite that is designed to take pictures of another satellite,” said BYU engineering professor David Long. The 10-centimeter CubeSat, which includes contributions from more than 60 students over a five-year period, is outfitted with cameras on all six sides and will make it possible to inexpensively detect damage on the exterior of a spacecraft that cannot be seen in other ways. Video produced by Julie Walker filmed by Brian Wilcox.Īfter years of engineering, testing and coordinating with engineers from NASA’s Launch Services Program, Brigham Young University students have created a cube satellite that will launch into space on an official NASA mission later this year.

Since fireflies are traditionally found in the eastern U.S., a lot of people were interested to know they could be found here in Utah. The video became almost instantly popular. BYU biology professor Seth Bybee allowed our video team to tag along with him to Goshen Ponds as he did some field research on fireflies.
