Beginning today, Kentucky Space will be presenting its work at the CubeSat Developer's Workshop on the recent suborbital use of CubeSats, as well as the new plug and play "CubeLabs" now aboard the International Space Station.

Bob Twiggs, who is teaching at Morehead State University in Kentucky, and who is of course well known by everyone in the CubeSat community, will also offer his views on the range of projects now available to students experimenters. Good luck to everyone!

The agenda is here. Watch the conference live here.

Tom Eblen, Lexington Herald-Leader columnist, writes about the potential impact of space exploration on Kentucky, helpfully pointing out that it's not just about rockets and engineering:

What’s important to understand about this space research is that it isn’t about space. It’s about how earthly cells and molecules react and change in the micro-gravity environment of space. The economic and social implications of that research could be huge.

Incorporating launch and ground station footage, Kentucky Space students describe the "Frontier" mission that took place in late March from Wallops. Congratulations to all the team members on a successful mission!

Listen below for some sounds that made the developers of ADAMASat very happy.

Kentucky Space released software so that audio from the mission could be heard over the eastern United States by amateur radio operators, who responded by reporting their results. Thank you!

During its brief stay in space, ADAMASat successfully tested technologies destined for its orbital craft, KySat-1, which will fly as a secondary payload on NASA's Glory mission, currently slated for November.
