CCRPD/TitanSat TechTalk Event - NASA CubeSat Technology
Abstract
Cube satellites, or simply “CubeSats,” are miniature satellites built in units of 10x10x10cm cubes. CubeSats have been used exclusively in low Earth orbit (LEO) for more than two decades and are now being used for interplanetary missions as well. These tiny satellite technologies were developed in 1999 by researchers at Stanford University and Cal Poly in order to increase the number of spacecrafts that were being launched into space. Today, CubeSats are developed in several universities worldwide, including CSUF, to help students gain valuable engineering experience in satellites, which are traditionally expensive to build and launch. There are several challenges in developing modern CubeSats, including the resource and cost-constrained design, part miniaturization, electronics sensitivity to radiation, power needs, reliability, and so on. This technology talk will outline the different classes of satellites, the benefits of small satellites, engineering and design challenges, and some of the current projects at NASA Ames Research Center.
Speaker Biography
Anh Nguyen has an undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering and a Masters and Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering with a focus on Small satellite technologies for precision drag-free control and drag-force recovery from the University of Florida. Anh’s work at NASA Ames Research Center includes mission architecture and design, project management, systems engineering, and subject matter expertise in Guidance, Navigation, and Control Systems of Small Satellites.

Virtual Workshop: Emotional Intelligence – A Key Ingredient for STEM Career Success
During March 2021, the CCRPD organized a workshop for ECS students on Emotional Intelligence and how to improve Emotional Intelligence to help their career. The workshop was delivered virtually (via Zoom platform) by the Dale Carnegie group of Orange County. Dale Carnegie has been improving individual and business performance around the world through in-person and live online courses from leadership to public speaking training for over a century. The speaker of the workshop was Steve Thomas, who has more than twelve years of experience in management, strategic planning, and analysis. Steve is a notable public speaker and has years of training experience for industry professionals. This 1-hour CCRPD workshop was very interactive and informative and was attended by approximately 40 students from ECS. Below are a couple of screenshots from the event.
