UKube

The United Kingdom Space Agency website now includes some more details of the UKube 3U cubesat project. See http://www.ukspaceagency.bis.gov.uk/20084.aspxThe baseline design for this satellite includes a set of FUNcube boards to provide the educational outreach for the project. AMSAT-UK are presently discussing the precise details of this arrangement with the UKube project team.This development will enable a much higher level service to be provided for STEM outreach to schools than would be possible with just a single spacecraft.
