Aria lives on a well-ordered planet whose people have
eradicated illness and even death. Earth is their
‘shadow planet’ which they populated with humans
centuries ago so they could study them and learn from their
experiences. Now the experiment is coming to an end and Aria
must go to Earth with her scientist father to set off a
train of events which will destroy its people. Brought up to
believe that humans are inferior, Aria is shocked
to discover that she is herself half human, and amazed to
find that Earth-dwellers live life to the full
and feel love for each other, even though they are mortal.Â
But once she understands this, how can she save them, and
herself, from destruction?

This book provides the information that is required to start a
small spacecraft program for educational purposes. This will
include a discussion of multiple approaches to program formation
and build / buy / hybrid decision considerations. The book also
discusses how a CubeSat (or other small spacecraft program) can be
integrated into course and/or program curriculum and the ancillary
benefits that such a program can provide. The assessment of small
spacecraft programs and participatory project-based learning
programs is also discussed extensively. The book presents prior
work related to program assessment (both for a single program and
internationally) and discusses how similar techniques can be
utilized for both formative and summative assessment of a new
program. The utility of these metrics (and past assessment of other
programs) in gaining buy-in for program formation and funding is
also considered.
