CUBESAT ‘QUEST FOR ET’, GOING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
January 2016 update
There are just a few bits and bobs here that deserve a
mention and are in effect self-explanatory.
CubeSat funding apparently increasing here, as mentioned on
Facebook.
The ‘Southport Visiter’ reporter (Fran Fitzsimmonds) behind
this pre-Xmas CubeSat story has just kindly sent me the news piece…
CubeSats are a type of standardized, modular satellite for
research in space and are made up of 10×10×11.35 cm sized units each weighing
up to 1.33 kgs each and can be a single modular satellite or be several linked
to form a larger satellite. They are extremely cost effective and are intended
for low Earth orbit. The team’s CubeSat will be capable of detecting and
measuring various radiation sources which can then be visually confirmed with
two nano-cameras operating with parabolic lenses for a 360 degree view around
the satellite. They are also hoping to include a micro-radar system if they can
secure a unit at reasonable cost (they are a very new and expensive
technology), which
would give them the ability to verify detected objects in
space.

The team’s goal is to secure $50,000 in funding for
the project, which they are currently pursuing with crowd-sourced funding
efforts at:

The thing that I like about this UFO project is that it remains independent
and is not some overtly ‘officialised version’ of events that is being censored from the
public gaze.
More soon, as it happens…
