Student-run CubeSat team at Montgomery Blair High School planning to measure charge density and high energy particle emissions in the ionosphere.
We’re an entirely student-run team at Montgomery Blair High School. We plan to submit a proposal for the 2018 CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) cycle, as part of NASA’s Educational Launch of NanoSatellites (ELaNa) program. Our satellite will measure charge density and high energy particle emissions in the ionosphere, contributing to radio propagation models and space weather research. Furthermore, our organization will advance education through project-based-learning and promote STEM in the community through public outreach.
