Pleiades-Orpheus [IHS]

Pleiades-Orpheus is an educational mission by Irvington High School Girls in STEM Club using the PROVES (Pleiades Rapid Orbital Verification Experimental System) open-source CubeSat architecture with camera payload.

Pleiades-Orpheus has two primary missions. The first is to fly a 1U CubeSat built entirely by students from IHS CubeSat. The 1U CubeSat shall be based on the PROVES (Pleiades Rapid Orbital Verification Experimental System) open-source CubeSat architecture being developed for educational use. Pleiades-Orpheus will also contain an imaging payload with the mission of capturing an image of the Earth, which will then be analyzed to determine the trends of light pollution in roughly North America. Students participating in the Pleiades-Orpheus mission shall gain valuable experience with the integration, launch, and operation of a spacecraft as a part of their academic experiences.
