The ODU CubeSat project was part of the
Virginia CubeSat Constellation
mission funded by NASA and the Virginia Space Grant Consortium for a period of 3 years (2016-2019).
This was an interdisciplinary project which provided undergraduate engineering students at ODU with
hands-on experience on a complex space systems engineering project. ODU students along with students
at the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech designed, developed, integrated, and flew a constellation of
three 1U CubeSats in low Earth orbit to measure their orbital decay and develop a model of atmospheric
drag in low Earth orbit.
The CubeSat project was featured in the multiple news articles on the university website
ODU News (Jul. 10, 2019): ODU CubeSat Is Deployed Into Orbit from the International Space Station.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my web page. I appreciate your interest in my research and in the activities of the ECE Department.
I receive many e-mail messages from prospective students, and unfortunately, I am unable respond to each and every one of them. Please
consult the ECE Graduate Programs webpage
for full information on the graduate degrees offered by our department, including teaching and research assistantships. If you have already
submitted an application for admission, the ECE Graduate Program Director is the point of contact for all inquiries related to your application
status.
