EQUISAT is a 1U (one unit) CubeSat designed and built by Brown Space Engineering (formerly Brown CubeSat Team), an undergraduate student group at Brown University's School of Engineering. The primary mission of EQUiSat is to prove the accessibility of space to the masses through both demonstration of a low-cost DIY CubeSat and educational outreach. To further the primary mission, Brown Space Engineering will maintain EQUiSat as a low-cost and rigorously documented open source project, allowing others to replicate EQUiSat’s subsystems without large budgets or extensive expertise. The total cost of parts to reproduce EQUiSat is around $5,000
