Abstract
ARKSAT-1 is a 1U CubeSatellite developed at the University of Arkansas (UA). The primary mission of the satellite, in addition to being the first student satellite in the State, is to operate a bright LED hosted on the satellite in conjunction with a ground-based tracking system. A secondary objective is to perform space environment testing of a deorbiting module applicable to small satellites (< 180kg). This paper will discuss the satellite design, development, build, and expected operations in the context of ongoing work at the UA.
