Abstract

The University NanoSAT Program, or UNP, a program funded by the Air Force Research Labs and AIAA, is an exciting program that provides a chance for students in college to create a satellite – from concept to flight. It represents a remarkable opportunity for students to learn want is involved in the process including lab training, guest lectures, expert advice, a flight opportunity for their satellite and of course providing the tools to the job. QuickSAT, and the supporting database environment step_SATdb, is a collaborative Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) environment for application in a range of space vehicles including CubeSATs through 1000+ kg class satellites for orbits in Earth and missions throughout the solar system. In this paper we will present what QuickSAT/step_SATdb is and how the AFRL and university participants used this software environment, and present the Propulsion Module used by some of the student participants.
