IntroductionModule 2: CubeSat Subsystems
CubeSats may be small, but they are complex machines, each carrying a collection of subsystems working together to achieve mission goals. In this module, we’ll break down these essential components and explain what they do, how they work, and why they’re necessary.From power management to orientation control, you’ll learn how each subsystem contributes to a CubeSat’s performance in space. Let’s explore the key systems that bring a CubeSat to life.

Technical Standards Safety & Compliance Standards Module 3Hands-On Module: SondeHub Flight Planning
The SondeHub Predictor Tool [https://predict.sondehub.org/] is a simple, interactive way to estimate the flight path of your weather balloon. This module will guide you step-by-step to set up locations, configure flight parameters, and run predictions quickly and easily, helping you optimize your mission for safety and recovery.
Lessons
Planning Your LaunchModule 4: Flight Conditions & Environmental Considerations
This module covers the environmental factors that affect CubeSat balloon flights and the testing standards needed to ensure payload safety and mission success.

Flight Conditions Testing & Validation Standards Module 4Module 5: Payload Planning
CubeSats are only as useful as the payload they carry. The payload is the core of your mission—it defines what your CubeSat will do and why it exists. This module will guide you through understanding payload types, selecting a payload, and planning your mission to ensure success.
