Abstract :
The HiNCube project ran from 2006 to 2013 where a group of students from Narvik University College in Norway designed, built and launched a pico-satellite. Unfortunately, no communication link was established after launch, and this paper details the overall design and highlights many of the different problems and challenges that arose through the project.
