An effort by Alabama Space Grant Consortium (ASGC) members to design and build the first in a planned series of statewide collaborative cube satellites (CubeSats) will be the focus of a workshop Nov. 9 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Educator Training Facility at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. Proposed by Dr. Michael Briggs, assistant director of UAH's Center for Space Plasma and Aeronomic Research (CSPAR) and a principle research scientist, the project was selected from four ASGC member submissions by Dr. David Beale, ASGC campus director for Auburn University and the principle investigator for the Alabama CubeSat Initiative.
