Through the ground station, cadets will be able to send commands to the satellites and downlink information from the satellites back to ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s the big benefit of having it right here at the academy,\u201d said Lt. Cmdr. Grant Wyman, a project manager at the research and development center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cadets will have the capability to communicate with more than just the two satellites affiliated with the Polar Scout mission, Wyman told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theday.com\/article\/20181128\/NWS09\/181129457\" target=_blank>The Day<\/a> newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At their smallest, cube satellites are 10 by 10 by 10 centimeters and weigh less than three pounds. Once in space, the satellites can support a wide variety of hardware and sensors: solar panels for power, radios for communication, telescopes and small computers to process information and control the flight of the spacecraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Space technology is creeping into the curriculum at the academy. This semester, a course is being offered on the different types of remote sensing that can be done from space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1363\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/44276080750_23a233b9f6_k.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-76500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/44276080750_23a233b9f6_k.jpg.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/44276080750_23a233b9f6_k.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/44276080750_23a233b9f6_k.jpg.jpg?resize=768,511 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/44276080750_23a233b9f6_k.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,682 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/44276080750_23a233b9f6_k.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1022 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Members of the Coast Guard Academy and the Coast Guard Research and Development Center work together to build the housing for a satellite system at the academy, Nov. 28, 2018.

(Dave Santos\/Coast Guard)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Construction of an 18-foot radome, or geodesic dome made out of fiberglass that will protect the radar equipment used to communicate with the satellites, was completed Wednesday. The radome is expected be lifted to the top of Smith Hall as early as next week, with the hope of having the ground control station fully operational by the end of January 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two satellites that are part of the Polar Scout mission were supposed to be launched into low Earth orbit from the SpaceX rocket Falcon 9 on Wednesday. But the launch was delayed until Saturday due to weather. The rocket is being launched from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/2018\/10\/08\/social-media-lights-up-with-spacex-satellite-launch\/\" target=_blank>Vandenberg Air Force Base<\/a> in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary goal of the launch is to see whether these small satellites can augment the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration&#8217;s system of larger satellites that collect search-and-rescue beacons from the Arctic. NOAA&#8217;s system is nearing the end of its service life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coast Guard has said the satellites also could be used to track sea ice in the Arctic, reducing the cost of operating Coast Guard aircraft, which mainly carry out this work, and the risk to air crews.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coast Guard Academy cadets soon will be able to communicate with satellites in space from classrooms on campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":76497,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":65,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"2":{"categories":["your-military","news","middle-column","home"],"primary_category":"your-military"}}},"categories":[101,23,88,89,12,26,65],"tags":[],"coauthors":[8292],"class_list":["post-41069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-left-column","category-middle-column","category-news","category-newsletters","category-your-navy"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"TVPK27EYP5EWTNDT27WUQCHMYQ","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-navy\/2018\/12\/04\/coast-guard-cadets-will-get-closer-to-space-with-satellites\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Coast Guard cadets will get closer to space with satellites - Navy Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Coast Guard Academy cadets soon will be able to communicate with satellites in space from classrooms on campus.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Coast Guard cadets will get closer to space with satellites\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Coast Guard Academy cadets soon will be able to communicate with satellites in space from classrooms on campus.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2018\/12\/04\/coast-guard-cadets-will-get-closer-to-space-with-satellites\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Navy Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-12-04T02:14:05+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T20:02:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Julia Bergman, The (New London, Conn.)
