Abstract
The HiNCube project is a student satellite project where the students build a picosatellite that shall take pictures of the Earth. In this paper, an overview of the project is given from an organizational perspective with lessons learned from the process of initiating and performing a satellite project. None of the members in this student managed satellite project had any practical experience with satellite building when the project was initiated. This paper shows how the HiNCube project is implemented with lacking experience, but with many passionate students who are working hard to complete the satellite. The HiNCube project became member of the Norwegian Student Satellite Program in 2007 after a call for proposals of Norwegian Student Satellites. Through this program the project has gained valuable knowledge, contacts and assets which have been used to enhance the project.
