The Vermont Tech CubeSat Lab launched its first satellite, the Vermont Lunar CubeSat, a 1U CubeSat on November 19, 2013, and was fully functional until reentry on November 21, 2015. It is still the only successful university satellite from a college or university in New England or the east coast of the U.S. We are now working on the flight software for Lunar IceCube which has a ride to the moon on NASA's Space Launch System.
