Video: "SOCEM" merges Cubesats with sounding rockets

Uploaded by University of Kentucky student Alex Clements, this video features several Kentucky Space students and two faculty advisors involved with Sub-orbital Cubesat Experimental Mission, or "SOCEM," and offers an overview of why Kentucky Space will be flying ADAMASat on March 11. The launch window opens at 0700 ET.

The launch is a unique marriage of Cubesats with the sounding rocket program at the NASA Wallops facility, the first, perhaps, of many such flights.

As mentioned in the video, free software is available for download to amateur radio enthusiasts wanting to collect packets from ADAMASat during its time in space.
