Montana State University's MEROPE team is building the first satellite ever in Montana. MEROPE is a completely student run program which has involved over 75 graduate and undergraduate students. The project has campus wide involvement with students' majors varying from the science and engineering fields to business. When the satellite is complete it will be shipped to Cal-Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA where it will be grouped with two others in a device called a P-POD. The Satellite will then be tested to make sure there will be no problems. After testing, the P-PODs will be shipped to Utah where they will be attached to a larger payload delivery system, the Multi-Payload Adapter at One Stop Satellite Solutions (OSSS). Once this is complete, they are off to Kazakhstan where they will be launched into orbit using a converted Russian SS-18 ballistic missile.
