From Classroom to Space: Developing the RASCube-1 CubeSat
In mid 2025, Robinson Aerospace's first CubeSat, RASCube-1, will launch into orbit carrying experiments from 7 countries. As the culmination of project Space Call, high school students from Colombia, Ukraine, UAE, USA, Australia, Rwanda and Singapore will see their work blast into space aboard a SpaceX mission.
Join Edward Robinson, Founder of Robinson Aerospace, as he discusses RASCube-1's complex journey from idea to reality.
Edward is the passionate young Founder of Robinson Aerospace Systems, a STEM education company with a mission to inspire students to pursue careers in STEM, while giving them the necessary knowledge and hands-on skills to do so.
Robinson Aerospace provides schools with flatpack CubeSat kits, enabling students to assemble a replica satellite, from the aluminium structure to the internal electronics. Once turned on, the CubeSats transmit live data and camera feeds to computer software, where students can investigate and analyse the data further.
Their first CubeSat is launching to orbit in mid 2025, carrying experiments that were built by high school students from 7 different countries.
