CavSat: UVA Students Building Spacecraft
The University of Virginia’s student-run CubeSat team takes spacecraft from requirements and design review through integration, flight, and live telemetry.
Field notes
The team divides spacecraft work among six subteams, with a systems lead managing requirements and interfaces before preliminary and critical design reviews. Its listed CanSat / Team 1057 Apogee project targets an approximately 670 m descent, 1000 g ± 10 mass, and a budget under $1,000. The site also identifies a CavSat 3U CubeSat project and directs prospective members to an interest form and Discord channels for meeting times and design discussions.
