One such activity is a competition that can capture interest and s cientifically challenged undergraduate students in aerospace related activ ity.\n\nObjective\ni) To promote interest in aerospace and harnest skills among students from higher education in Malaysia\nii) To increase visibili ty of Aerospace Society Malaysia in the community.\n\nImplementation\n• To produce the conceptual design of a CubeSat with the mission to detect p lastic debris in the ocean. In addition to the conceptual design descripti ons\, each team is expected to also develop and build a functional prototy pe of the CubeSat that demonstrates its detection and data communication c apabilities. Each team has to submit a video presentation detailing the in tegration of different subsystems to achieve the mission and the prelimina ry demonstration of the system’s capability. A live challenge will be he ld to test the effectiveness of each team's prototype.\n\n• Participants :\n1. Students from any institutes of higher learning in Malaysia.\n2. Eac h team consists of 3 to 5 students and 1 academic mentor from the same ins titution.\n3. Entry fee for each team is RM 100.\nTotal of 18 teams is par ticipating in the competition.\n\nImpact\nMore than 60 undergraduate stude nts from public and private universities in Malaysia participated in the l ive challenge of the AEROS CubeSat Competition 2024 from 26th-27th August 2024 at Universiti Putra Malaysia\, Serdang\, Selangor. The competition re quired all teams to design a CubeSat with the mission to detect and catego rised marine debris. All participants have shown strong level of dedicatio n\, passion and determination in completing all the milestones. Most of th em had no prior knowledge of CubeSat design\, but were able to acquire the knowledge\, produce the conceptual design\, build a prototype and integra te the system in a span of a few months. It was impressive to observe the performance of the CubeSat designed by the participants in achieving the m ission of detecting debris in the lake during the live challenge.\n\nThe w inners of the AEROS CubeSat Competition 2024 are as follows:\nChampion: Ap ex Orbiters\, USM\nRunner-Up: Ocean Eyes\, USM\nBest Video: IIUM Celesta\, IIUM\n[]\n\nUniversiti Putra Malaysia\, Serdang\, Selangor\, Malaysia LOCATION:Universiti Putra Malaysia\, Serdang\, Selangor\, Malaysia ORGANIZER:hasif@uitm.edu.my SEQUENCE:12 SUMMARY:AEROS CubeSat Competition 2024 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/438438 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Background<br>An important agenda of the s ociety is to organise activities that can create awareness and public inte rest in aerospace in Malaysia.
