The global CubeSat ecosystem continues to evolve through open-source collaboration and localized innovation. This presentation explores how digital fabrication, open hardware, and STEM-based community engagement are being leveraged in Ghana to design and prototype educational CubeSat systems. Drawing from our work at Ghana FabLab, we showcase how tools such as 3D printing, CNC milling, and...
The PHASMA mission, developed by the Libre Space Foundation, is a two 3U CubeSat constellation designed for spectrum monitoring and space-based situational awareness. The mission's primary objectives include in-orbit spectrum analysis (UHF, GPS and S-band) to quantify global spectrum utilization, identify interference sources, and detect regulatory violations using on-board DSP and machine...
Given the ever-growing demand to make science in space more approachable – and the value of experimental data in such conditions – the SpaceDot team has been driven by the ambition of sending a low-cost, high-throughput, modular science platform in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), in service of open science. This has led to the conception of AcubeSAT, a 3U CubeSat carrying a novel payload which combines...
