(Satnews Publishers) University Cubesats to be Launched by NASA in November '10
"A tiny communications satellite designed and built by University of Colorado at Boulder undergraduates has been selected as one of three university research satellites to be launched into orbit in November as part of a NASA space education initiative. The three Cubesats were built by CU-Boulder, Montana State University and Kentucky Space, which is a consortium of state universities. The satellites are being flown as part of NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellite, or ELaNA, mission."
"The goal of the mission is to improve communications systems in tiny satellites through on-orbit testing of a high data-rate system that will allow scientists and engineers to downlink large quantities of information."
