Real Satellites. Real Success.
In 2018, Wolfpack became the first middle school team in the U. S. to launch a CubeSat, the WeissSat-1 into space through NASA’ s CubeSat Launch Initiative. Since then, they’ ve also launched:
• CapSat-1( 2022)
• FlipSat-1, a hosted payload( 2024)
• Coming Soon: WolfSat-1( 2026), selected through Firefly Aerospace’ s DREAM 2.0 national competition, and WolfSat-2( 2027) to be launched from Japan!
All of these missions were designed, built, and tested by students under 18— yes, even middle schoolers!
It’ s Not Just Tech— It’ s Communication Too
Wolfpack uses a special teaching method called“ BLUE-SKY Learning” and encourages students to be both“ Techies and Talkies.” That means they don’ t just build satellites— they also learn to communicate and lead.
Advocating for Space Education
Wolfpack students are leaders beyond the lab. They participate in Florida Space Day and visit Congress in Washington, D. C. to advocate for STEM education. In 2023, their efforts helped secure $ 350,000 from the Florida Legislature to support aerospace technician training for underserved youth at Palm Beach State College.
They’ ve also received national recognition, including:
• An Edison Invention Award for education
• Finalist status in the Global Space Sustainability Challenge
• Selection as one of seven teams for a NASA iTech Focus Event
