A satellite built by Air Force Academy cadets was carried into orbit Thursday aboard an Atlas V rocket that was launched at 8:11 p.m. MST from from Cape Canaveral, Fla.
The satellite, which will be operated in orbit by cadets at an academy ground station, is designed to measure atmospheric interference with radio signals sent from space. It also carries an experimental electrical manoeuvring system, which could someday replace fuels carried into space aboard satellites.
The 18-inch square orbiter was designed and built by cadets in the academy’s Space Systems Research Centre, where students learn about the Air Force’s role in space by joining in realworld projects.
