More than 100 University of Saskatchewan students have worked over the course of the last three years on creating the province's first cube satellite..
“The COVID-19 pandemic has presented our team with many challenges,” said Dustin Preece, second-year engineering physics student. “Despite this, the RADSAT-SK team rose to the occasion and made the transition to online collaboration to achieve our goals. I feel really proud of our team for getting the go-ahead on our design, and I am very honoured to be counted amongst their ranks.” For the past three years, more than 100 USask undergraduate and graduate students have been part of the mission to design, build, and launch RADSAT-SK. The small satellite is entirely designed by the student team, with minimal faculty oversight.
