PocketQube project in the IAE program 2014-12-20 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo from powerpoint by Dr. Tim Smith. Dr. Tim Smith used this photo to illustrate how far students in the new Air & Space Institute might be able to go - in high school. This PocketQube project, pictured above, is a made-in-Kentucky-satellite actually capable of launching into earth orbit. This one cost about $100,000, Dr. Smith said, and was built at Morehead State as an entry in PocketQue competition. He said that, with miniaturization, satellites can be built which will fit in the palm of one's hand. The PocketQue company sells satellite kits for around $20,000, we've found since the meeting. Putting that in perspective, that's one-fifth the cost of the average Adair County bridge, four time the cost of a single City/County 4th of July Fireworks project, or half the cost to local government for City of Columbia Diamond Reo concert, so maybe a satellite launch is something - if India can go to Mars, why can't we have our own earth satellite - the Adair County High School Air & Space Institute, maybe in cooperation with neighborhood aerospace programs at Metcalfe County, Taylor County and Monroe County High Schools to carry out next year and launch from a cape on Green River or Barren River Lakes. Probably, if Michael Campbell were still here, he would already have one built, at a cost of around $100, with parts from e-Bay. Comments?
