Student Teams

Participating SilverSat tweens and teens represent a diverse population. Students are in grades 5 – 11 and are a mix of public, private, and homeschooled students from the greater Silver Spring area and Washington, D.C. Our diversity provides varying perspectives as well as many different areas of expertise that contributes to our progress and allows us to be more efficient in creating our CubeSat.

Our team consists of multiple subgroups working simultaneously to create the prototype of our CubeSat.

    • The SilverSat teams include:
      • Systems – The systems team works on the big picture – the overall mission concept. They manage our high-level requirements and concept of operations.
      • Power – The power team is responsible for supplying power to the CubeSat. They work with the batteries, solar cells, and controlling circuitry that power the other boards.
      • Avionics – The avionics team works on the hardware and flight software that control the operations of the CubeSat.
      • Payload – The payload team works on the hardware and software responsible for taking pictures and turning those pictures into tweets.
      • Communications – The communications team works on the radios, both on the CubeSat and on the ground, that allow us to communicate with the CubeSat in space.
      • Mechanical – The mechanical team designs the CubeSat structure and assembly.
      • Project Management – The project management team manages our schedule and our deliverables, and keeps the teams running on track.
