Our project integrates a camera into a CUBESAT structure, designed to take pictures every 4 minutes, allowing for the observation of Earth's curvature. This passive system eliminates potential failures and runs automatically after launch on April 21. We will be capturing images at increasing altitudes, developing the film to reveal the curvature clearly. The estimated total cost for the project materials is $157.58, ensuring an affordable and efficient design for space exploration.

BASIC DESIGN *Integrate a camera into a CUBESAT structure and take pictures every 4 minutes, observing the curvature of the Earth 555 Timing Circuit *Structure Insulation-Foam core Aluminum Siding
SYSTEM OPERATION * This system is designed to be extremely passive * This will eliminate possibilities for failure or problems * After launch on April 21, our CUBESAT will run automatically until recovery * After developing our film, we hope to be able to clearly observe the curvature of the Earth taken by our camera at a timed interval at increasing altitude
FINAL COSTS * Aluminum screws...$2.49 * Slide rule...$2.59 * Aluminum angle...$2.49 * Aluminum sheets...$6.55 * 555 timer...$0.62 * Pushbutton switch...$1.69 * Batteries...$7.88 * Cannon Elph LT...$59.99 * Lithium Battery...$7.99 * Kodak Film (40 exposures)...$16.78 Total Expenditures to date: $157.58
