Professor James Cutler and the rest of his CADRE team are losing a lot of sleeping hours. This will be the sixth version of the mini satellite that the Michigan Exploratory Laboratory has built and launched into lower earth orbit. The latest version, CADRE, packs a newly integrated laboratory the size of a grapefruit and will be sending back data on ions, neutral atoms and atmospheric winds. While there hasn't been a cube sat able to travel past lower earth's orbit, there is hope with the collected data that interplanetary space travel will be more informed with what lies further out in space. ABOUT THE PROFESSOR: James Cutler is an associate professor in the Aerospace Engineering Department at the University of Michigan. He can't remember a time when he wasn't building something that could fly and shares his passion for reaching the stars with his grandfather who was a rocket scientist.
