Since then, approximately 30 students have worked on the project from Sonoma State, Santa Clara University and Morehead State.

Astranis, a manufacturer and operator of small geostationary satellites, contributed to the cost of the launch, while competition co-sponsor Nanoracks, a leading provider of commercial access to space, will launch and deploy the winning CubeSat on the International Space Station in the next two to three years.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Open to U.S. SEDS chapters, the competition tasked teams with submitting a design for a novel 1U CubeSat.
