ADVANCING RESEARCH IN AUTONOMOUS PLANT HABITATION

CubeSat
CUBESAT FOR PLANT LIFE SCIENCES
Current space farming applications lack the data to support the development of
high-yielding plant growth. Developing on the research from prior experiments
like NASA’s Veggie and Advanced Plant Habitat, our CubeSat:
1. Supports experiments to understand optimal sustainable growth for
high-yielding plants in space and low gravitational environments.
2. Provides a flight control system and a controlled habitat to experiment with
ideal conditions for multiple high-yield plants.
3. Serves as a vessel for future life science research for NASA at Kennedy
Space Center.
4. Features include automated lighting cycles, sensing of environmental
conditions including temperature, CO2, and humidity, in addition to
high-accuracy monitoring of plant development.

RESEARCH IMPACT
ADVANCING THE
RESEARCH
The data analysis from our CubeSat directly contributes to NASA's research on
growing plants in controlled environments. This experiment gives NASA insight
into how future missions on the Moon, Mars, or in space will look like where
food is grown in-transit.
SETTING THE
FOUNDATION
The systems and practices we employ to develop our CubeSat invest in the future
of FAU and its faculty and students as it provides continuity and repeatability
for continued development of future Cube Satellite missions in Boca Raton.
GAINING THE
EXPERIENCE
Building a satellite is not easy: from budgeting, time management, and
delegation to subsystem integration, threshold passing, and testing. The
leadership, systems engineering, and technical applications of academic concepts
gives us an edge in the industry.
ABOUT
ABOUT
We are a diverse team of student engineers dedicated to developing our
University's first CubeSat. Partnered with Kennedy Space Center and the Florida
Space Grant Consortium, our aim is to set a new milestone in FAU's history and
place us on the map as a College on the space coast where students can design,
build, test, and launch satellites into space.
