Students needed to launch a satellite into space! 

YukonU has a satellite project with the Canadian Space Agency! The primary mission is to train students in space science and engineering while creating a pool of highly qualified personnel in Canada’s north. We welcome students of any background and education to learn with us while building our cubeSat. 

The team actively recruits members from Yukon University, Yukon’s high schools and local youth attending school out of territory. Students work as a team to follow the engineering design process learning elements of theoretical & practical engineering, spacecraft assembly and operations throughout the process. 

YukonU is leading this initiative and keen to recruit new students. Find out more about the program!
