#15 - Differences Between CubeSats & Large Spacecraft with Prof. Chuck Boehmer
CubeSats (small spacecraft ranging from the size of a tissue box to the size of a shoebox) have become widely popular within the universities across the globe as more teams utilize this platform to conduct scientific research, demonstrate new technology, and educate the next generation of engineers. However, student-led CubeSat projects can be very different from industry-level projects, both in technical and programmatic terms. In today’s episode, I sat down with Prof. Chuck Boehmer to chat about these differences a bit more in detail based on his experience in the industry, and my experience on the Phoenix CubeSat at ASU.
