A CubeSat is an excellent example of how as advancements in space missions continue, a demand for smaller, lighter, more cost-effective technology is emerging. Currently, the cost to launch a standard satellite is astronomical, going up to approximately 400 million US dollars. This price point makes satellite space missions out of reach for most consumers. One solution is the utilization of miniature satellites to conduct experiments on a smaller scale. The smaller size of a single unit CubeSat, 10cm x 10cm x 10cm, would not only help reduce the cost to launch but also lessen space debris. Climate change has been an ongoing issue that the world faces. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, fires, and flooding have only continued to increase. In 2018, California had experienced one of its biggest forest fires to date, costing the state approximately 150 billion US dollars in damages. A solution is to utilize a CubeSat equipped with a long range infrared camera to monitor and detect possible wildfire conditions. The CubeSat can be used to help slow the threat of wildfires by using the data collected to map high risk areas. The goal of this project is to design and manufacture a three unit, cube shaped satellite that is structurally sound enough to withstand the harsh conditions of low earth orbit conditions and create a cost effective solution that can help development of more efficient and effective weather satellites. In conclusion, this project would ultimately benefit the environment and promote the platform of future space missions.
