Kentucky Gov. Beshear dropped by today for a brief visit to Kentucky Space. Graduate student Daniel Erb, white shirt, explains a bit about the program while Dr. Jim Lumpp (beard) looks on.
Kris Kimel, president of the Kentucky 
Science and Technology Corporation, the managing partner for Kentucky Space, explained how the program was developing expertise in miniaturization technologies, and how commercial and scientific space opportunities were now opening up for willing entrepreneurs.
In the third image, Gov. Beshear listens while another graduate student, Tyler Doering (out of the picture), explains that communications technologies built into the cubesat will enable Kentucky school children to interact with it.
On the other side of the window is the Kentucky Space clean room on the University of Kentucky campus with the cubesat and hardware from Kentucky Space suborbital and high-altitude balloon missions visible.
