KICKSAT is an amateur radio CubeSat technology demonstration mission designed to demonstrate the deployment and operation of prototype Sprite "ChipSats" (femtosatellites) developed at Cornell University by Zac Manchester. ChipSats like the Sprite represent a disruptive new space technology that will both open space access to hobbyists and students and enable new types of science missions. A significant portion of the KickSat mission has been financed by over 300 individual sponsors through the crowd-source funding website Kickstarter.
