This video was made to show the incredible achievement for the WUSAT satellite team in launching a CubeSat satellite carrying a light spectrometer that could sample the elements in the Earth’s upper atmosphere.

This was a unique achievement for a 4th Year undergraduate team. The video gives a real feel of the launch event, and the sense of celebration for Warwick engineering, our sponsoring companies, and – above all – the university’s 50th anniversary year! Best viewed with the screen maximised and the sound turned up! Enjoy!

The WUSAT project received funding from the 50th anniversary fund. Find out more about their project.
