Student Hands-On Training (SHOT) I
The Student Hands-On Training (SHOT) workshops will provide students beginning the Air Force Research Laborotory's (AFRL) University Nanosat 6 (UN-6) program with basic space hardware hands-on and inflight training.
The objective of both SHOT workshops is to provide new students exposure to some of the basics of spacecraft construction, the teamwork and coordination involved, as well as the challenges with integration, test and launch of a satellite.
During Day 1 and Day 2 of the SHOT I (Year 1) workshop, students will construct a simple 750 gram satellite called a BalloonSat that will be launched to 30 km. Day 3 will be devoted to launch, recovery, and data analysis of their BalloonSat. It should be emphasized that the SHOT I training is geared for the novice experimenter. Nevertheless, it provides a complete program from requirements, design, and build, through test, launch and analysis.
During the SHOT II workshop, students will bring to the workshop a pre-completed BalloonSat that demonstrates one or more of their UN-6 satellite�s experiments or technologies. Students will launch their BalloonSat on a high altitude balloon. There will be a pre-launch and a post-launch presentation by the students. Both SHOT workshops will be completed in three days. Participants will travel to Boulder, Colorado, to receive the SHOT training.
