CubeSat

A CubeSat is a Pico satellite with dimensions of 10×10×10 centimetres (i.e., a volume of exactly one litre), weighing no more than one kilogram, and typically using commercial off-the-shelf electronics components.

Developed through joint efforts, California Polytechnic State University and Stanford University introduced the CubeSat to academia as a way for universities and high schools throughout the world to enter the realm of space science and exploration.

WinCube has partnered with the University of Manitoba Faculty of Engineering to have high school and U of M engineering students design, build, and launch a CubeSat in the near future.
