QB50 invited 50 Universities to send in proposals for Cube Satellite projects. In response to this a group of people at the University of Alberta created AlbertaSat, and are now building Alberta’s first satellite, Ex-Alta 1. A Cube Satellite is roughly 10 cm in all dimensions. The satellite being built by AlbertaSat consists of 3 of these sections, so it will be a 3u CubeSat.
