Abstract
The EagleSat program at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, an extracurricular student organization, is currently building, with the intent to launch EagleSat 2, a 3U CubeSat satellite tailored to the requirements of the NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative, and NASA’s strategic scientific goals. EagleSat 2 will combine existing commercial grade hardware with systems designed and manufactured in-house. Accordingly, EagleSat 2’s mission is focused on the scientific goals of detecting cosmic ray particles and studying the effects of solar radiation on various types of Random Access Memory. EagleSat 2 provides undergraduate students with firsthand experience in all areas of spacecraft development and teaches valuable engineering skills to supplement regular engineering coursework. EagleSat 2 is also used as a powerful outreach tool, allowing the team to engage high-school students in our local community and foster a passion for STEM based activities.
