## About the Team

UBC Orbit is an engineering student design team dedicated to the design, development, and operation of nano-satellites known as CubeSats. The team is currently building ALEASAT, an Earth observation satellite that can be used by radio amateurs to support disaster relief operations. With support from UBC, the Radio Amateurs of Canada, and the European Space Agency's Fly Your Satellite!
