This page is for the MakerSat project. Makers Local 256's spaceflight effort to put a satellite in space.
Status
- Have gathered information and resources on satellite and launch options and costs (monetary and technical).
Calendar
Concepts
- Goal - To put a satellite in orbit for a period of time. As of now, the purpose of the satellite is open.
- Satellite Options:
- TubeSat - Will be in a decaying LEO (Low Earth Orbit). It will only stay up for a couple of months. But it will only cost $8,000 to buy kit and launch. The best option for us to start out and learn about satellites and spaceflight.
- CubeSat - Will be in LEO for an indefinite period of time. Cost to build and launch can be up to $50,000.
- Suggested Missions:
- Real-Time Imaging From Space - Webcast a live real-time video or pictures from the satellite.
- Biological Payload - Something akin to an EcoSphere or other biological specimens. Would need a way to remotely observe them. Potential science project collaboration.
- Broadcast - Broadcast custom pre-recorded signals over Ham Radio frequencies so anyone can tune in to our flight.
