ThinSat Deployment

The team developed a platform to utilize the RockSat-X sounding rocket launch opportunity to support STEM education and outreach at local high-schools, where they could learn valuable engineering and design experience. This year, three teams from two classes at Blacksburg High School (BHS) designed, developed, and built experiments for thin satellites that would be deployed in space, gathering critical scientific information and transmitting it for post-mission analysis.
