Kentucky Space Grant Consortium- Facilities Upgrades for KySat-1 and Student Workforce Development

Grants and Contracts Details

Description

This proposal seeks to further bolster the ground station facilities in Kentucky by providing a complete backup in case of failure of the main UK station. Recent wind and ice storms have shown that even the most robust ground station is vulnerable. This modest investment will greatly improve the reliability of the Kentucky Space ground station facilities while at the same time providing an excellent learning experience for the student team.
