Apply to the CubeSat team

The CubeSat team is selective. It takes an essay and an in-person meeting with the exec team, because members commit real time to flight hardware.

Questions

Do I need to join the club first?

No, you can apply here directly. Joining the club as well gets you build night updates, and it's open to everyone.

Do I need experience?

It helps, but it isn't required. We care more about curiosity, follow-through and how you work with others. Tell us what you've built, even if it's small.

What if I'm not accepted?

You're still welcome in the club, and you can apply again next intake. Club projects are good preparation.

How much time does it take?

Several hours a week, more before design reviews. School comes first, and teams plan around exams.
