Cape-2, LO-75 (Louisiana OSCAR 75), is part of the Cajun Advanced Picosat Experiment program. It was constructed by a student-run, non-profit organization supported by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. The goal of this project is to give students at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette the opportunity to research, design, develop, and maintain a low earth orbiting satellite.
