NUSAT update

This paper presents, in general terms, the results of the experiments with NUSAT I. These include what has been learned about the strengths of the original design, as well as improvements being incorporated into NUSAT II, which should be of interest to designers of future Get Away Special ejected satellites. This paper also presents an account of the formation of the Center for AeroSpace Technology (CAST) at Weber State College, which grew out of the NUSAT project, and some potential applications and markets for inexpensive, low orbit satellites which CAST has explored.
