The BisonSat is one example of a CubeSat mission launched by NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative on Oct. 8, 2015. The BisonSat is an Earth science mission that will demonstrate the acquisition of 100-meter or better resolution visible light imagery of Earth using passive magnetic stabilization from a CubeSat. The science data, 69-by-52 kilometer color images with a resolution of 43 meters per pixel, a few of which will be images of the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwest Montana, will be used primarily for engaging tribal college students and tribal communities in NASA's mission. BisonSat is the first CubeSat designed, built, tested, and operated by tribal college students. Image Credit: Salish Kootenai College
