Additionally, the CubeSat I do astrodynamics for is projected burn up in the next year, so it is critical I collect as much attitude and altitude data from it as possible to use for my modeling (every month is valuable!).

CubeSat was invented at CalPoly. They have two clubs, one that makes the launchers, maintains the standard and schedules launches. The other does individual projects like yours. As Bill Nye said when choosing the school for LiteSail, “it’s the place for expertise in CubeSat.”

I think your GPA is low for AE, but if the school interests you, apply to General Engineering. The admission is a little easier.

Oregon State was good enough for Jensen Huang, the founder and CEO of Nvidia. They have the best honors program for engineers that we encountered. You’d be admitted for sure.

Good luck!
