The Aerospace eXperimental Payloads (AXP) team is a group of students of many different majors. Formally known as the USIP and ROCKSAT-X team, our team has a history of applying for and taking place in competitive grants from NASA. The most recent of which is the 2021 RockOn and the 2021 NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI).

In April 2021 AXP partnering with the Big Red Satellite Team was awarded Nebraska’s first NASA CSLI grant. For this grant, we are building a 10 x 10 x 13 cm cube-shaped satellite. Our satellite will be researching a new type of solar panel that has only been tested in space a few times. Our hand-off date for the grant is currently planned for May 2023.
