It was designed\, built\, and te sted\, by the students in our research group called CubeSat NB\, a first-o f-its-kind partnership among the New Brunswick Community College\, the Uni versité de Moncton and the University of New Brunswick. The purpose of th e project was student education and 274 students were part of this project . CubeSat NB was one the 15 teams in the Canadian CubeSat Project\, inspir ed by the Canadian Space Agency. VIOLET's mission was to study space weath er. It was deployed in a low earth orbit from the International Space Stat ion in 2024 and\, as planned\, burned up on entry to the atmosphere. Despi te over a million radio messages being sent to VIOLET\, it did not answer. As they say\, space is hard. Some lessons learned will be presented for g roups who are considering building a nanosatellite in a university environ ment.\n\nSpeaker(s): Brent\, \n\nRoom: SS1071\, Bldg: Sidney Smith Hall\, 100 St. George Street\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, M5S 3G3 LOCATION:Room: SS1071\, Bldg: Sidney Smith Hall\, 100 St. George Street\, T oronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, M5S 3G3 ORGANIZER:sean.hum@utoronto.ca SEQUENCE:9 SUMMARY:CubeSat VIOLET: New Brunswick's First Satellite URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/500032 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blac k\;">CubeSat VIOLET was approximately 10 cm by 10 cm by 20 cm or roughly t he size of a two-litre milk carton.
