There's been evidence and others have seen this, but again, there has never been a satellite dedicated, looking at, looking down at Earth for these terrestrial gamma-ray bursts. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]Student 1: We want to make artificial signals similar to lightning and see what the board does, make sure it's filtering those signals the way we want. Student 2: We're going to put it into HDL and then get it through this. Al Weatherwax: One of the tenents of the cubesat program is to involve undergraduate students at all levels: design, to building, to some of the theory, data aquisition, every aspect of this. We're really training here the next generation of space scientists, of satellite engineers. As soon as the launch goes up and they know they're a part of that satellite and data's coming in, I mean, that'll be with them throughout their life. [Music] [Beeping] [Beeping]
