Guidelines to Prepare Your ProgressReport

FUNSAT Team

Evaluation Reference

  • It’s a progress report, so each team’s progress towards the flight model designwould be central in this evaluation
  • FUNSATis a1.33 kg, 4”x 4”x 4” cube satellite (6U – 8 kg).Please consider it when you evaluate “Design maturity and feasibility” of their deign
  • In every evaluation category, each team’s progress should be marked as “Satisfactory” and “Unsatisfactory,” then provide your suggestion/guidance for the future work.
  • If possible, please email us “softcopy” of your evaluation sheet
  • The progress report format can be found in the next page.

Evaluation Criteria

  1. Design & Development:40%
  1. Design maturity and feasibility: Design details & parts selection
  2. Budget & funding plan for the Flight Model (FM)development
  3. Teaming
  • Classes/ Student organizations
  • Mentor (including faculty)
  • Plan for two (2) year project
  1. Technical Merits: 50%
  2. Mission, science, and/or engineering
  1. Preparation for the Prime Contractor (only for teams participating in the whole Cubesat): 10%
  • Build the for a Florida satellite: collaboration plan/scheme
  • Facility: lab, ground station, etc
  1. Others: Bonus up to 10%
  • Launch opportunity: application for aCubeSat Launch (e.g. ELaNa due 11/24)
  • Band application
