University of Michigan Radio Aurora Explorer (RAX) team members Matt Bennett and Sara Spangelo both delivered highly praised presentations at the CubeSat Developers Workshop last week at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California. Matt got the workshop rolling as the first speaker to present, and his discussion on the design, development, and delivery of the RAX 3U CubeSat had the whole conference buzzing about its upcoming launch.

Sara presented her research on optimizing ground station networking and downlinking. She discussed some trailblazing concepts in supporting multiple satellites performing science missions in concert as they collect data, communicate, and downlink to Earth.
