Let's Go to Space: BLUE-SKY Learning

Episode 129: Computer Science and MEMESat


Listen Later

Today we meet with Jillian Russell, a junior and Computer Science major at the University of Georgia. Now, Jilliam has always loved space, and she currently works at the UGA Small Satellite Research Lab with their beloved satellite, MEMESat- or the Mission for Education and Multimedia Engagement Satellite, The satellites mission is as a repeater in space that allows people to uplink and downlink memes to and from the satellite. With MEMESat-1 I work on our passive attitude determination and control system ( or ADCS) and the simulations for it. ADCS is just a fancy acronym to show how the team will ensure the satellite doesn't spin out of control during its mission. Right now, they are working on testing the components to make sure it will work once sent to space.
