Abstract
In this project, we aim to design and develop a high-altitude educational cube satellite (ECubeSat) model to be used for academic and professional purposes. The ECubeSat is a cube satellite (CubeSat) based on satellite design to operate at 3km and 40km high altitudes, which is suitable for a wide range of scientific and engineering experiments. The satellite has various systems to ensure efficient operation and data collection, including communication, antennas, electrical power system (EPS), microcontrollers, sensors, cameras, weather balloons, and parachutes. The structure design of the ECubeSat is built on the recycled materials and development of it is carried out using AutoCAD Fusion 360 software program. This paper presents a detailed overview of the design and development of the ECubeSat. It includes the analysis, findings of the design and the conclusion.

After being established, the Committee on Achieving Science Goals with CubeSats started to work on its assignment. The committee encountered specific challenges due to the relatively recent usage of the CubeSat platform. Despite all obstacles, CubeSats were launched as of the end of 2015 and began to spread worldwide [3].
