AUSSP

Auburn University Small Satellite Program

The Auburn University Small Satellite Program (AUSSP) is both a space science and technology research program and a workforce development program. Our students receive a cradle-to-grave design, build, test, and operation experience with CubeSats.

AUSSP began in early the 2000’s under the guidance of Dr. JM Wersinger (Physics). Dr. Wersinger guided the program through its first CubeSat mission, AubieSat-1. As an emeritus professor in the Auburn Physics Department, Dr. Wersinger still interacts with students on occasion, however, Drs. Michael Fogle (Physics) and Mark Adams (Electrical and Computer Engineering) now serve as the primary mentoring faculty of the program.

The program typically has about 30 undergraduate students, from diverse disciplines and backgrounds, involved in the program. We are always looking to recruit interested students.
