McMaster NEUDOSE is excited to announce our newest sponsor! Keysight Technologies Canada Inc. has generously donated a high performance signal analyzer to our team which will allow for the real time measurement and analysis of many of our electronic components.

System Requirements Review
NEUDOSE is excited to announce that our System Requirements Review is quickly approaching. On Thursday, July 9, 2015, the McMaster NEUDOSE team will be presenting vital information about the progress of the satellite to a panel of distinguished guests, including Dr. Stanley Hunter from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. This presentation will outline the motivation for the project, and the specific requirements for all of the components of the satellite. For more information regarding the system requirements and the progress of the project, stay tuned!
Stay tuned!
We've got some exciting news coming up in the next little while so stay tuned and keep updated on our Facebook page!
Power Considerations
Many components of the satellite have specific power requirements, and it's up to the Electric Power Team to figure out how to meet these needs. Here are two different configurations of the solar panels that give varying net power.
Machining Animation!
Our satellite will have many components that will be tough to machine, for example 0.5mm thick aluminum sides! Here's an animation of some machining work that will be necessary for the pressure vessel for our TEPC.
THE OFFICIAL NEUDOSE MISSION PATCH!
After many trips to the drawing board and countless ideas. The McMaster NEUDOSE team has officially adopted a mission patch to represent our NEUDOSE CubeSat!
NEUDOSE ... from the GROUND!
Checkout the map our team created of where our satellite is above the ground as it orbits earth. You can see the changes in altitude above earth by the differences in colour. This map is important so we know when and how many times our satellite will be above Hamilton so we can collect data!
Getting our Comms on!
Check out these cool antennas the Communications team built which can even pick up local radio stations!
Mechanical Structure Progress
Deployable Solar Panels!
Our mechanical structure team has been busy! The team's main jobs are to design the main body of our CubeSat including a structural layout and analyze its integrity and structural performance. The team has been working on a model that includes deployable solar panels. They created this animation to illustrate a way in which we could achieve this, we think it looks great! Head over to the "TEAM" page to checkout the students who put this together.
