The Space Systems Research Center at the United States Air Force Academy is building a cadre of space professionals "one cadet at a time". Cadets majoring in Astronautical Engineering and Space Operations participate in a two-semester capstone program in the design, fabrication, testing and launch of a sounding rocket (the FalconLAUNCH program), or of a satellite in space (the FalconSAT program). This paper will discuss the FalconSAT program only. Cadets currently involved in the FalconSAT program are working on FalconSAT-2 and FalconSAT-3.
