ELaNa - Educational Launch of Nanosatellites

The Launch Services Program (LSP) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida manages a fun and unique program known as Educational Launch of Nanosatellites or ELaNa. This program enables students in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics fields to work directly with Nanosatellites and NASA. The students are involved in all aspects of the process from Development to Assembly and testing. CubeSats are small 10x10x10 CM (About 4 Inche Cube) satellites that can do a multitude of tasks once they are released in space. These ELaNa missions are the first Educational Cargo to be carried on launch vehicles for LSP.
