Blue Dot Hackathon

Blue Dot Hackathon

Blue Dawn began as an idea among the Blue Dot universities, who wondered “what is the fastest, cheapest, and best Cube Satellite that can be built by undergraduate students?” A Cube Satellite is a class of Small Satellite that comes in 10cmx10cmx10cm “units” (or “U”). These tiny satellites have allowed universities to design, build, and fly their own space missions as tag-alongs to larger satellites. Now, we want to reimagine the university CubeSat community as more collaborative and interconnected than ever before, while also developing a strong proof of concept for a minimum viable CubeSat.

They also decided they neeed to promote their hackathon a little bit, so they put together this website.
