By
Megan Yamoah
Summary
A student-built CubeSat from the University of Victoria, named MARMOTSat, is set to launch into orbit aboard a SpaceX rocket from California. The satellite has a dual mission: studying the ionosphere's impact on GPS and radio signals, while also hosting an open-source satellite radio system (ARISS) available to amateur radio operators worldwide. The project involved over 100 students across multiple disciplines and represents a significant hands-on educational achievement in space engineering.
