The University at Buffalo Nanosatellite Laboratory or UBNL began in 2011 under the guidance of our Principle Investigator, Dr. John Crassidis, to assist with his research. Today, UBNL is a diverse and completely volunteer group of undergraduate and graduate students who work with the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) and NASA to build small satellites from concept to launch. We currently have three missions under development which focus on space domain awareness, laser communication systems and surveying the RF noise environment on orbit. Our eldest mission, GLADOS and newest mission FALCON are both funded through the AFRL's University Nanosatellite Program. LinkSat our first mission with a launch date, is funded by NASA through their Undergraduate Student Instrument Project. To learn more about each mission, please visit us at ubnl.space. UBNL has grown exponentially over the past four years from a small group of 20-30 students to well over 150. We welcome students of all disciplines, grades, and skill levels to join us. We are happy to teach new members the skills they need to succeed in any of our subsystems and have opportunities for anyone to become a leader. Our members have worked at nearly every major aerospace company in the United States, from NASA and SpaceX to Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. They routinely represent UB and UBNL at a number of conferences every year and our alum have attended some of the best graduate schools in the country.
