Students at CU to team up, build tiny spacecraft
This device will be about the size of a loaf of bread and weighing in at 5 lbs and will be designed to to measure energetic particles that have been known to damage spacecraft’s instruments. The data collected from this spacecraft will be combined with findings from other missions with the hope of better understanding electrons trapped in the Earth’s magnetosphere. See, who says you can’t do anything fun and educational at college these days? Building spacethings is damn fun in my book.
