It Really is Rocket Science (Part 1 of 4)

By: coe (28) in student

During the summer, while many college students went to the beach, a few dozen BU engineering [...]students headed off to space. More than 60 undergraduates are currently designing and building BU's entry in the University Nanosatellite Program, a competition sponsored by the U.S. Air Force, and about half of them got started on the project this summer.

First up is College of Engineering undergraduate Kyle Winters, who is pulling double duty as a member of two subsystem teams. One group is building the solar arrays that will power the satellite. The other will create the project's required educational component, a curriculum to teach local high school students how to build a satellite's thermal probe.
