NASA set to launch first all-Mexican nanosatellite
The AztechSat-1 will be launched Wednesday from Cape Canaveral, Florida
Published on Tuesday, December 3, 2019

NASA will launch the first all-Mexican nanosatellite into space on Wednesday from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Designed and built by students at the Popular Autonomous University of Puebla (UPAEP), the AztechSat-1 will carry out a mission operated by Elon Musk’s company SpaceX.

Héctor Simón Vargas Martínez, a UPAEP academic who oversaw the satellite project, said the aim of the AztechSat-1 mission is to establish communication with the entire Globalstar satellite constellation system with a view to improving the transmission of data to earth.

I don't believe it, not with Mexicans helping, anyway.
Every time they say "Launch", everyone will go and eat.

Sorry, folks............couldn't help myself.

A man from Mexico actually told me that joke.

Mexican Students Launch a Small Satellite to the International Space Station

The first satellite built by students in Mexico for launch from the International Space Station is smaller than a shoebox but represents a big step for its builders.

The project is part of NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative, which offers universities, high schools and non-profit organizations the opportunity to fly small satellites. Innovative technology partnerships keep down the cost, providing students a way to obtain hands-on experience developing flight hardware.

A multidisciplinary team of students at Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de Puebla (UPAEP), in Puebla, Mexico, built the CubeSat for AzTechSat-1. The investigation demonstrates communication within a satellite network in low-Earth orbit. Such Intra-satellite communication could reduce the need for ground stations, lowering the cost and increasing the number of data downloads possible for satellite applications.
