CubeSTEM product

CubeSTEM Digital Twin

A software-first CubeSat mission learning lab for students, teachers, demo operators, and pilot reviewers.

CubeSTEM Mission Twin includes an eight-track CubeSat learning journey, the Space Mission Challenge Pack, Lunar Rover Rescue, CubeSat–Rover Relay, Mission Realism Lab, telemetry divergence, scorecard and competition mode, a local report generator, and a hardware-ready interface spec — all browser-local, teaching-grade, with honest boundaries (no backend, no accounts, no real satellite command). Optional supervised hardware stays out of scope for remote control from this product.

Demos & reviewers

Start here — classroom, technical, pilot, student

Each path uses real routes in this build. Teaching-grade and browser-local only — see the capability table below for what is not included.

Classroom demo

Facilitator-led: challenge pack overview → rover mission → scorecard / evidence → printable report.

Technical reviewer demo

Parameter-driven realism: lab → relay mission panel (packets, retries, link margin) → optional report paste field.

Pilot reviewer demo

Scope and limitations: pilot readiness page, feature matrix on Demo Pack, then representative mission run.

Student self-guided path

Mode + learn hub: pick a track, complete a yardstick activity, export evidence locally.

Product flow

How the learning experience works

A simple loop from entry to debrief. The mode selector is a local preference only—it helps the product highlight the right next steps, not accounts or permissions.

Choose a role / mode

Pick Student, Teacher, Demo, or Pilot framing—via the header or /twin/modes—so your next clicks match your job.

Pick a mission activity

Open a track overview or yardstick activity, or enter the Space Mission Challenge Pack / standalone missions when you want a mission-control style run.

Learn the concept

Read teaching-grade explanations at classroom depth—honest about what is modeled vs illustrative.

Use labs and mission simulators

Interact with software labs and mission simulators (rover, relay, realism lab)—teaching-grade only; no certified flight, RF, or ADCS claims.

Capture evidence / prepare debrief

Use local self-check summaries and evidence copy/export (text + JSON) inside activities, then debrief in class. Nothing is submitted to a server; teachers only see what learners share manually.

Assessment Engine v0 and Evidence Engine v0 are integrated on yardstick activities: practice-only self-checks, local artifacts, and copy/export—still browser-only with no accounts, no gradebook, and no teacher visibility into answers unless shared manually.

Learning journey

Eight-track CubeSat learning journey

Tracks 0–7 below match the live curriculum map: orientation through AI / ML autonomy. Open the curriculum map for pathways, outcomes, readiness labels, and suggested sequencing.

0 · Orientation

What a CubeSat mission is; subsystem thinking; digital twin before hardware.

1 · Launch / gravity / orbit

Why things stay in orbit; teaching-grade motion and contact models.

2 · Mission design / payload

Objectives, payload trades, data vs downlink, success criteria.

3 · Power / thermal / budgets

Energy, mass, data, and thermal teaching labs.

4 · Communication / ground link

Line of sight, budgets, margins, command/telemetry flow.

5 · ADCS / attitude control

Pointing, stability, and one-axis teaching labs—not flight ADCS.

6 · Telemetry / evidence

Streams, replay, trust, and mission debrief habits.

7 · AI / ML autonomy

Teaching classifiers and human-in-the-loop framing—not certified AI or flight software.

Classroom fit

Why it works in class

Teachers get clear entry points and teaching-grade software today. There is no class roster, grade book sync, or backend—those stay out of scope until explicitly planned.

Clear lesson entry points

Start from the learn hub, curriculum map, or Orientation 00.1 without a long setup.

Guided mission activities

Structured flows across Tracks 0–7 with local self-check and evidence copy/export on yardstick routes.

Teacher hub and lesson packs

Pacing presets, misconceptions, and facilitation prompts for Tracks 0–7—no roster, gradebook, or cloud sync.

Evidence-oriented discussion

Use telemetry views, builder outputs, copied evidence JSON/text, and assessment summaries for debriefs.

Grade-scaled language

Activities support multiple learner levels via the curriculum map—no official accreditation claimed.

Institutions & pilots

For pilots, workshops, and institutions

Useful for schools, colleges, universities, STEM labs, and reviewers who need an honest software-first story.

Browser-first demo

Run a session without installing lab hardware; optional supervised hardware comparison later.

No hardware required for session one

Teaching-grade software carries the first hour; hardware hub explains boundaries.

Honest capability boundaries

No STK/GMAT replacement claims; not flight-certified; no public remote hardware control.

Workshop-ready pathways

Demo pack and pilot entry support structured reviews—pilot remains appropriate for invited cohorts.

No accounts yet

No login, LMS integration, or official curriculum alignment claims in this release.

Evidence

Evidence-oriented classroom activity

The product is built so learners can show what they understood—charts, builder output, and discussion prompts—not yet a single automated evidence pipeline.

What students produce today

On yardstick activities: local self-check summaries, evidence artifacts (text + JSON), screenshots, and copied telemetry notes—share manually with a teacher if required.

Evidence engine scope

Evidence Engine v0 is browser-local copy/export—not a submission system, not cloud persistence, not a portfolio LMS.

Assessment scope

Assessment Engine v0 is practice-only quick checks and prompts—not a gradebook and not visible to teachers unless shared.
