Abstract

In this study, cheap and easy-to-use CubeSat educational materials are developed for students studying satellite development, for the first time. The developed model CubeSat is slightly larger than 1U size, and comprises multiple subsystems similar to a real satellite. In addition, model CubeSat competitions on the power supply, communication, and attitude are designed and conducted, where the respective subsystems are applied. The questionnaire results indicate that the model CubeSat assembly course and competition are popular and beneficial for the students.
