On January 26, 2000, ASUSat1 was launched, culminating
years of work by students from the Department of Mechanical & Aerospace
Engineering who built and designed the satellite. Its mission was to collect
images and data and transmit them to the University's Engineering Research
Center, but it lost electrical power and remains in orbit. The project gave
400 students the opportunity to participate in the development and launch of
a satellite.
