Auburn students gain career skills through space mission launch

Auburn University students are acquiring essential workforce skills through an innovative initiative, supported by Firefly Aerospace's award to launch a mission aimed at addressing space debris mitigation.

Leading the Auburn project are Michael Fogle, the Howard Earl and Carolyn Taylor Carr Professor in the Department of Physics, and Mark Adams, the Godbold Associate Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Fogle and Adams are the principal faculty mentors of the Auburn University Small Satellite Program (AUSSP), which currently has several other cubesat missions in the design phase and close to launch.

"This opportunity provides students with hands-on involvement in designing, constructing, testing, flying, and operating small satellites," stated Fogle, underscoring Auburn's commitment to delivering exceptional educational experiences.
