Hello There!
Mission Statement: To design, build, test, and launch North Carolina’s first CubeSAT into space by 2023. Vision Statement: To collaborate with students, educators, community & business leaders to grow interested in STEM, Aero & Astro space initiatives in Johnston Co. & North Carolina.
About Us
This journey started as the team’s original members met through FIRST, the largest STEM-based robotics organization in the world for K-12 students. The team was created as a branch of f(x) Robotics, and you can see many aspects of the robotics team through the signature f(x) and fox. We are currently the first and only CubeSat team from the state of North Carolina. We wish to inspire other schools and communities to begin their journey into space. We hope our passion and excitement will inspire others to make history, learn, and launch their very own CubeSat into space!

Currently, the team consists of 15 members, but we are still recruiting and accepting from all different school systems around the county. Our members attend, but are not limited to: Smithfield-Selma HS, Cleveland HS, North Johnston HS, Neuse Charter School, JJC Early College Academy, and Homeschool. We encourage you to stay with us throughout the experience by either joining our CubeSat team, donating, or following us through social media.
