Educational mission to allow interaction with the CubeSat and blockchain for inter-satellite transactions. |
| Description |
Villanova University College of Engineering is collaborating with Teachers in Space, Inc., a non-profit organization that developed the “Serenity” educational cubesat satellite, to launch the first, private, blockchain satellite to validate the technology for inter-satellite transactions. Interest in this activity will be incented when school groups post packets received on the Teachers In Space website, and obtain recognition for the schools and individual Hams by doing so. A 3U Cubesat project. In carrying out this mission, orbital flight heritage will be gained for the Serenity design and design standard. Serenity is a low cost bus design that can be built with 3D printing, and assembled and operated by schools both for orbital and for suborbital missions, as well as in the classroom. Sensors will include:
