Bryan Fewell built a working desktop Cubesat for his 8th grade science fair project. Here we recorded his presentation for posting to his science fsir blog http://brysci.blogspot.com.
I don't know how high these things tumble in orbit above the Earth. For the sake of discussion have the following, regarding Ionized Plasma Layers above the Earth: D-layer 38-55 miles above the Earth E-lyer 62-75 miles up F1 125-150 miles winter and 160-180 miles summer F2 layer 150-180 miles up Winter and 240-260 miles up Summer. I think one of the HARP programs plays around with this. Satellites are vulnerable, wouldn't think it would take to many Nukes to heat the environment up. Complex.
Keep up the good work. Your a whole lot smarter than I am- Kid. Are not all these low orbit Sattelites vulnerable? Ionize the inosphere even more with Nukes and so forth? Food for thought. Appears you used Lithium Batteries- I want to learn more about those Capacitor Power Supplies. On a satelitite," Power is everything" ( I don't know a darn thing about Satelites). Do your own programming- good for you; I steer away from all that; of course I'm Old Man- Cheers.
Great video! I am an 8th grade teacher and would love to get my school radio club to build a working "model" like that. We have the parallax boards and lots of other equipment, but just need to get that frame made!
dude, please put more videos like this. I'm a college student and this video informs a lot on electrical stuff.

@RAHELL19FM So true. I'm an electrical engineering student and I just learned more from this video, then my 3 years of crapping in college.

a masterclass in 2 mins by an 8th grader :)

FYI - Three universities will launch their cubesats on a NASA / LSP rocket in about 6 weeks on Feb 23rd.
Google "NASA ELaNa" to learn more or watch the Feb 22nd webcast.
