How to Get involved

Overview: The Aerospace Experimental Association is a student club at FAU developing a Cube Satellite to send to space! This satellite will collect data from distant stars to further research into using light to send large packets of data across space at light speed for communication.

Developing this satellite grants STEM students the opportunity to learn the professional and interpersonal skills required in their future jobs, including leadership, technology readiness levels, product development timeline management, question identification and problem-solving skills, and much more!
