Description

The primary mission of CP3 is to implement an attitude control system using only magnetic torquers embedded within the side panels. Attitude determination is performed using two-axis magnetometers on each side panel as well as observation imagers on the payload face.

As with all of our CubeSats, a primary mission is also education. Our project is student-run and we aim to design, build, launch and operate a satellite with as much student involvement as possible.
