Published purpose

The AlbertaSat team from University of Alberta will build off of an existing satellite bus to further improve student designed components and dedicate more resources to improving the payload interface. One of their goals is to make an open source cube satellite design further extending a cost-effective platform for functional data collection from space. The data collected from the CubeSats Initiative in Canada for STEM (CUBICS) mission will be used by research facilities across Canada to provide insight into our ice caps and oceans, a fundamental part of Canada’s landscape, and thus will increase our understanding of the causes and the effects of climate change.
