Launch Update: On 26 July 2006, a Dnepr launch rocket carrying two ICE Cube satellites and many cubesats from other insitutions had a failure, resulting in an unsuccessful launch. Reports indicate that the first stage booster of the Dnepr rocket shut down prematurely before the second stage could kick in to send the satellites into space. The rocket and its multiple payloads crashed just more than 100 miles from the underground silo where the mission was launched at Baikonur Cosmodrome in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan. ISC Kosmotras, the launch provider, is currently investigating. The Cal Poly cubesat web site will continue to provide details as they come available.

We at Cornell would like to personally thank all the students who supported the development of the ICE Cube satellites. It was a worthy endeavor that we were all very proud of.

 

 

Objective: To design, build, test, and operate a fully functional 10cm CubeSat for GPS scintillation science in Low Earth Orbit.
