ContentCube
A MODERN MISSION FOR A NEW SPACE ERA
What is ContentCube?
ContentCube will be a 1U (10 x 10 x 10 cm) CubeSat with the first ever external display screen exposed in space. Its objective is to take a picture of itself with an image displayed on the screen with Earth in the background before sending it back down. There are two patent-pending technologies with ContentCube which includes the external display screen and thermal control system.

Our Satellite Model(s)
We have two satellite models with different objectives.
Flight Model
The Flight Model will be the satellite that will be packaged and delivered to Nanoracks to launch to the ISS before being deployed. This is the main model we are focusing on to fund the building materials for.
Ground Station Model
If possible, we would like to have a Ground Station Model that stays at the ground station at Virginia Tech. This model would allow the team to have a physical copy of the satellite to mitigate the risks and solve any potential problems that may arise throughout the satellite's lifetime.
