Myles Clark - So what’s all this about CubeSats?

What is a CubeSat anyway? How do you make them? Are they actually any good at producing science data? At making a company money? (Spoilers: Yes and Yes).

ZOOM meeting IPAS Seminars

For a safer and larger get-together, we are converting the IPAS weekly seminars into ZOOM-delivered series. In this way we will be able to keep informed of ongoing IPAS research activities whilst also providing a way of keeping in touch with one another.
