A satellite comes to Kentucky.
KentuckySat, a new organization made up of Kentucky universities
and organizations, will design, build and launch KySat, a Pico class
cube-shaped satellite with a mass of less than one kilogram kilogram, abbr. kg, fundamental unit of mass in the metric system, defined as the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram, a platinum-iridium cylinder kept at Sèvres, France, near Paris. . Once in

and work on measuring the earth's magnetic field Earth's magnetic field (and the surface magnetic field) is approximately a magnetic dipole, with one pole near the north pole (see Magnetic North Pole) and the other near the geographic south pole (see Magnetic South Pole). , we could
concentrate on that. If we want to look at space photography, we
