AubieSat-1 is a Miniaturized satellite built by students at the Auburn University. It is an example of the popular CubeSat design for amateur satellites. It was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in October 2011 atop a Delta II rocket. This was a multi-payload mission with five other CubeSats, M-Cubed, DICE-1, DICE-2, Explorer-1 and RAX-2.
AubieSat-1's onboard control is provided by an ATmega 128L microcontroller running Micrium Micro-C. Communications are over AX.25 and CW Morse Code.
