MCubed-2 is awaiting integration out at Cal Poly. In the meantime, CADRE marches on. Check out the newest fit check model, now with fullsize 3U walls!
CADRE - the CubeSat Investigating Atmospheric Density Response to Extreme Driving CADRE was selected for launch with NASA’s ELaNa program.
CADRE, short for the “CubeSat Investigating Atmospheric Density Response to Extreme Driving” is the next space weather mission to be sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Instruments on CADRE will measure the in-situ density, temperature, and composition of the Earth’s thermosphere, as well as winds and ion flows. This mission is a precursor for a constellation of CubeSats that will provide regional and global assessment of thermospheric feature scales.

U-M Professor and CADRE Engineering PI Jamie Cutler discusses the challenges that come from space junk in Earth's orbit. The primary science application of CADRE's mission will go to improved atmospheric modeling that will help us predict orbits.
The growing problem of ‘space junk’ U-M Professor Jamie Cutler describes the challenges with controlling and anticipating collisions with space debris, and how that challenge is being tackled in space exploration. The discussion comes as NASA cancels a potential maneuver to move the Space Station after...
