MIHS StangSat

"Whether outwardly or inwardly, whether in space or time, the farther we pe*****te the unknown, the vaster and more marvelous it becomes."

The MIHS CubeSat Team is taking on the challenge of building a satellite to send into space. Merritt Island High School is only the second high school in NASA history to do this, and this is also the first time Kennedy Space Center has partnered with a high school to build and launch a CubeSat. Students involved in the CubeSat project are, with the help of NASA engineers, building a small satellit

After 8 years and the fantastic student efforts of over 80 students from Merritt Island High School, final Integration day has arrived for StangSat and PolySat ‘s LEO CubeSat.

Thank you to NASA's Launch Services Program for this awesome learning opportunity and chance to launch on the SpaceX STP-2 mission!

Great to watch the SpaceX Falcon Heavy fly successfully tonight and land all three first stage boosters.

During the telecast it was announced the side boosters will be reused for our mission on STP-2 (the next Falcon Heavy launch) 🚀!

MRR complete! Both teams (LEO and StangSat) did a great today. Let's go fly! NASA's Launch Services Program

Mission Readiness Review (MRR) day here at NASA Kennedy Space Center NASA's Launch Services Program. The review today verifies StangSat and our sister satellite LEO from Cal Poly are built according to mission requirements and ready to fly!

Very proud of these teams and the over 100 students that have been involved in the design, build, and upcoming flight on the STP-2 mission.

First attempt at Remote Integrated Testing between StangSat and Cal Poly's LEO CubeSat. Working surprisingly well considering we are in Florida and they are in California.
