The University of Southampton is developing its own CubeSat with a view to obtaining a free launch on the VEGA launch vehicle.<\/p>\n

University of Southampton Small Satellite<\/a> is a group of students, primarily from a physics background, who aim to get a fully functional satellite into space, possibly by the end of 2016. Over a number of years they have designed the structure, the power, attitude control and the onboard processing and work is continuing on the development and integration of these subsystems into a full operational system.<\/p>\n

Wessex Scene recently published an article<\/a> about the project which included an interview with\u00a0Aleksander Lidtke<\/strong> who in 2014 gave a presentation<\/a> about the CubeSat to the AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium<\/a> in Guildford.<\/p>\n

Phil Crump M0DNY<\/strong> has released a video showing the first step of the Southampton University Spaceflight<\/a> CubeSat Telecommand Board construction.<\/p>\n
