University to Launch West Virginia's First Satellite


University to Launch West Virginia's First Satellite Within a year’s time, West Virginia will join an exclusive club when West Virginia University launches the state’s first satellite into orbit. The small satellite, which is still in the first stage of development, will collect data on weather, radiation and other space conditions for use by university researchers. It is scheduled to launch as a secondary payload on a rocket next year as part of the National Aeronautic Space Administration’s CubeSat Launch Initiative. In launching the satellite, West Virginia University will collaborate with NASA’s Independent Verification and Validation program, the NASA West Virginia Space Grant Consortium and Fairmont-based TMC Technologies.   More
