Breakout Session #4: MESAT1: The first small satellite built in Maine
|
|||||||
NASA has selected 18 small research satellites from 11 states to fly as auxiliary payloads aboard NASA funded rockets. The selected CubeSats were proposed by educational institutions, nonprofit organizations and NASA centers in response to NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) call for proposals issued in August 2019. MESAT-1, the first small sat built in Maine, is an education mission that includes three payloads developed by schools in Maine. The ALBEDO payload investigates the impact of albedo (fraction of solar irradiation reflected back into space) on local temperatures across urban and rural areas. The IMAGER payload will study a low-cost remote sensing tool for coastal estuaries. The HAB payload will study harmful algal blooms to see if they increase atmospheric temperature and water vapor levels in the atmosphere above them. MESAT1 was launched aboard Firefly Aerospace Rocket (Alpha FLT-005) on July 3, 2024 and is currently in the orbit. This sessions presents more details on this mission. |
