An announcement for my long-time friends, students, and colleagues! I am coauthoring writing a book on the creation and early history of the CubeSat standard and am looking for those interested in sharing memories of our past projects and their first CubeSats and PocketQubes. Please share to spread the word and let me know if you would be interested in the book as completed! While outstanding technical accounts by others have been written on this, we want to focus on the fun (and not-so-fun) stories and drama that went on during the early years of the CubeSat and PocketQube programs but have not been recorded. So, if you worked on some of those early nanosats (with or without me) or were a student I worked with @Standford University, @California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), @Morehead State University or @Weber State University, I would appreciate your help with compiling a history of what went on during those times. Aaron Zucherman, PhD (a former student of mine from Morehead State University), who is taking the lead on organizing and conducting interviews for the project. So, if you are interested in participating, please contact him via LinkedIn or his email azucherman@gmail.com. Thank you all, and I look forward to reconnecting and reminiscing! @Small Satellite Conference (SmallSat) @California Polytechnic State University-San Louis Obispo #cubesat #smallsat #smallsatellite #nanosatellite Obispo #history #students #space #spaceexploration #spaceindustry #cdw #CDW2023 #smallsat2023 #cubesats #smallsats #smallsatellites #stanford
