                         space, engineering and computing sciences through a CubeSat 
                         program. The NANOSATC-BR1 nanosatellite is planned to be launch in 
                         a polar orbit inclined about 98° with respect to the Earths 
                         equatorial plane, at an approximate altitude of 650 km, with both 
                         objectives: to monitor the Geomagnetic field and its effects over 
                         the Brazilian territory, especially over the region knows as the 
                         South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA), using an off-the-shelf 
                         magnetic field sensor; and to capacity a new generation of 
                         scientists, engineers and researches, providing hands-on training 
                         and learning with aerospace technologies and Space Weather issues. 
                         In order to accomplish these aims, two 1U-CubeSat platforms: a 
                         Flight Model (FM) and an Engineering Model (EM); and a Small 
                         Satellite Ground Station, equipped with VHF/UHF band and S-band 
                         antennas, which will be installed in Santa Maria, South of Brazil, 
                         on the building of the Southern Regional Space Research Center, 
                         CRS/CCR/INPEMCT, INPEs sub-unit, have been purchased from the 
                         Dutch ISIS Company. With the delivery of the models and Ground 
                         Station in July 2011 and launch planned for later 2012, at the 
                         present moment, documentations, tests plans and specifications are 
                         under development. Undergraduate and Graduate students from UFSM, 
                         and Master and Doctored students from INPE are involved in 
                         different areas of the Project, covering mechanical analysis, test 
                         and integration documentations, even developments for new 
                         equipment, interfaces and software to be applied in the 
                         NANOSATC-BR1 mission. As a result, the NANOSATC-BR Project has 
                         been providing, to the Brazilian INPE-UFSM institutions, the 
                         development of CubeSats technologies, space knowledge, integration 
                         and tests procedures.",
