Nanosat: UB SEDS members are building and testing a satellite through the Air Force's University Nanosatellite Program, a contest that gives 12 teams of students $150,000 to develop a flight-ready spacecraft. UB's satellite aims to gather detailed light data of objects floating in space to determine their shape, orbit and material characteristics. In January 2013, the students will present their project to judges who will select one satellite for the Air Force to launch into low-Earth orbit.
