EagleSat 1 was a 1U CubeSat created by students and faculty at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott. It was the first CubeSat designed and launched into orbit by any campus of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
"EagleSat is an educational 1U CubeSat built by the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University to bring together all engineering disciplines, as well as blending together the business majors to mimic a small business environment to the greatest extent possible to design and build an exploratory CubeSat mission that will test various types of memory for bit flipping due to solar radiation while in low Earth orbit."[1]

[edit]Even though it failed after launch in 2017, it's still in orbit! https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?CATNR=43018 https://www.satellite-calculations.com/TLETracker/SatTracker.htm (694 x 433 km as of March 4 2024)
