Problem
Many schools and universities lack affordable, hands‑on tools that let students experience real satellite engineering, limiting practical STEM learning to textbook theory and costly laboratory equipment.
Solution
RASCube offers a flat‑pack educational CubeSat kit that students can assemble and operate in the classroom. The kit includes a functional replica satellite, modular add‑ons, and a custom software interface that streams live sensor data for analysis. Structured lesson plans guide learners through physics, engineering, and data‑interpretation activities, while the expandable design encourages students to create their own experiments. By providing a repeat‑use, real‑world hardware platform, RASCube bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and authentic space technology experience.
Target Audience
Primary customers are secondary schools, universities, and vocational training programs seeking practical, curriculum‑aligned satellite engineering experiences for students.
