[4] 2016 INSPIRE (International Satellite Program in Research and Education) Workshop
July 20-22, 2016, Taiwan.

Initially concieved as an educational tool, CubeSats are fast becoming an important platform for both scientific and commercial missions. Initiated in 2015, the International Satellite Program in Research and Education (INSPIRE) is a multiyear academic program in small satellite development providing hands on training for students in science mission planning, flight hardware development, testing, and post-launch mission operations and science data analysis.

The first INSPIRE Workshop will be held at National Central University in Taiwan from July 20 - 22, 2016, and will focus on the planning and execution of CubeSat projects in the academic setting, the use of CubeSats to address outstanding scientific questions, CubeSat payload selection strategies, as well as preliminary designs for INSPIRESat-1, and related panel discussions. We encourage participation from institutions already involved in the INSPIRE Consortum, as well as other institutions with an interest in CubeSat science mission development.

Institutions currently participating in the INSPIRE Consortum include:

• Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, University of Colorado, USA
• Institute of Space Science, National Central University, Taiwan
• Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Indian Space Research Organisation, India
• Satellite Research Centre, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
• Sultan Qaboos University, Oman
