Aeternitas CubeSat
University Students Advancing Atmospheric Research
Delivering to NASA Q3 2018
About Our Project
The ODU CubeSat is part of a multi-university collaborative project that aims at building a constellation of three small satellites that are shaped in the form of a cube with dimensions of 10 x 10 x 10 cm and will be deployed into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to study phenomena that influence the varying thermosphere density.
​
Sponsored through the Virginia Space Grant Consortium (VCSG) the project brings together students from Old Dominion University (ODU), the University of Virginia (UVA), Virginia Tech (VT), and Hampton University (HU) to form the Virginia CubeSat Constellation (VCC), a first of its kind for undergraduate small satellite research projects in Virginia. The VCC mission has been manifested and given a delivery date of July 2018 for an anticipated deployment during the fourth quarter of 2018/first quarter of 2019.
