GOATS in Space

GOATS in Space

The Satellite Development Club (SDC) from WPI is competing in the NASA Cube Quest Centennial Challenge as the team GOATS and is building a CubeSat, a small and inexpensive satellite, to take a journey into deep space.

What inspired you to make this project?:
The Satellite Development Club was formed following the completing of an independent student project of an electronics board for a CubeSat. There was so much interest in continuing the project, that a club was started. Initially, poor leadership nearly ended the club until fall 2015 when a new president took charge and rallied a community of space enthusiasts from WPI. We redefined club goals and started competing in the NASA Cube Quest Centennial Challenge which provided us with a competition to get our new club off the ground. We love space, we love making, and we love sharing our enthusiasm for engineering with the world.
