Mentioned Resources

 

  • Discuss the resources chaitanya linked to us and how they can be helpful to cubesat and or other projects

  • Ecoatoms | Aerospace Biomanufacturing

    • Payloads related to biomed field

    • Seems more related to grad-school grade research. Perhaps not the best option

  • SBIR.gov

    • Gov funds small businesses

    • Good couple million $ towards ATSP development

      • Smallsat mission is to prove it can be useful in an application, so our use could be different

  • (3) Phase3D: Overview | LinkedIn

    • Industrial 3D printing company

  • Heritage – NearSpace Launch

    • Satellite component company (small sats)

    • Has partnered with different universities, leans towards industry application

    • Best option, worth pursuing

  • What we are offering to companies:

    • Exposure (not the best sell) (companies on shirts)

    • Leveraging university relationships with companies and alumni (by being on good terms with Bret)

      • Bret is in institutional advancement, that office does fundraising stuff. Bret is one of the “outward facing people”

      • Any company we are asking money for needs to go through Bret

  • Sponsorship spreadsheet

  • ATSP

    • Louis interim contact, no official contact with company

  • Loft orbital (company name)

    • Startup that provides an interface to satellite busses (abstracts away busses)

    • Look into alumni contacts and see if company could be useful

  • Kratos

    • Ground station and tracking

    • Good to reach out to
