In the Space Systems Lab, graduate students (from left) Eric Peters, Evan Wise, and Anne Marinan inspect the dual-spinning CubeSat, MicroMAS (the Microsized Microwave Atmospheric Satellite). This small satellite is the engineering model for the later flight model that will fly in space. The engineering model contains all of the systems required to operate the satellite: power, control, avionics, communications, and thermal subsystems. MicroMAS data will help researchers understand and predict tropical storms and hurricanes.
