Project Background - RIT SPEX

RIT Space Exploration, or RIT SPEX for short, aims to accomplish a few major things: 1) Inspire the current and next generation of college and university students to pursue careers in space technology related fields. 2) Develop novel technologies to address the needs of the scientific community and pursue various scientific goals

• urselves for research and to sate our interests.

3) Pursue projects with CubeSats, NanoSats, radio telemetry, and high-altitude ballooning.

Project Background - RIT SPEX

• RIT SPEX desires to gain a role in NASA’s

CubeSat Launch initiative.

• RIT SPEX has formulated a basis for their

vision, but lacks specific guidance for

• btaining success based on past projects and

best practices

Project Background - CubeSats

• NASA’s CubeSat Launch initiative (CSLI)
• CubeSats are “cheaper,” loaf of bread sized

satellites that are designed to be launched and operate as a network.

Project Description - DPL Role

Goal:

• Lay out “roadmap” for the RIT SPEX team

from now until launch, based on other successful CubeSat projects. Objectives:

• Research project requirements and best

practices from other universities

• Create 10 Year plan for RIT SPEX
