University of Michigan CADRE CubeSat

Prince Kuevor who worked on the CADRE CubeSat features in a video from the
University of Michigan Aerospace Engineering Department.

The CADRE 3U CubeSat,Â*developed by the students at the University of
Michigan, was launched to the ISS on December 6, 2015 and should be
deployed from the space station soon, possibly mid-May. It carries an
instrument package developed by the Naval Research Lab, WINCS, which will
characterize neutral winds and ion drifts in the ionosphere/ thermosphere.
The IARU lists the downlinks as 437.485 MHz and 3404.0 MHz.

What is it like to be an aerospace engineering student at the University of
Michigan? Step into the life of senior Prince Kuevor, who, in addition to
his coursework, writes software for CADRE, a small satellite designed by
his student team. In the future, Prince hopes to become a professor and
teach the next generation of aerospace engineers.
