Episode 39: AlbertaSat, a University of Alberta Student Project The Space Economy

My guests this week are two members of the AlbertSat team, Callie Lissinna and Logan Fairgrieve-Park.AlbertaSat is a student group started in 2010 made up of about 50 undergraduate and graduate students. The group was started as a result of the creation of the Canadian Satellite Design Challenge. The Canada wide competition encourages university students from different study areas to form a team to develop and build a nanosatellite, or CubeSat. It’s not just for science and technology students though, marketing, communication, financial and project management skillsets are also needed.Callie is the Deputy Project Manager and Logan is the Science Team Lead and the Attitude Determination and Control System Team Lead. Both are undergrad students at the university of Alberta.Callie, Logan and I discussed AlbertSat, its projects and their view of their future prospects of working in Canada in the space sector.
