KySat-1 is the first satellite that was entirely designed, built, and tested by university students in Kentucky. The primary mission is educational outreach to both the university students who worked on the satellite and to K-12 students and teachers, providing opportunities for hands-on learning in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines.

CXBN is designed to increase the precision of measurements of the Cosmic X-ray Background in the 30-50 KeV range in an effort to contrain models that explain the underlying physics of the diffuse component of the X-ray background

TechSat Morehead State University and Kentucky Space have partnered with Radiance Technologies, I‐3, Tethers Unlimited and Honeywell to develop a demonstration of a nano satellite aiming to increase the power available on Cubesat‐like platforms and demonstrate the technology necessary to develop nanosats with significant and consistent power available to operate high‐capacity payloads. The specific goal is to develop a CubeSat platform that generates 50 Watts of power and has the capacity to store and control 75w/min/orbit.

Glio-Lab GlioLab is a joint project between GAUSS-Group of Astrodynamics at the”Sapienza” University of Roma and the Morehead State University (MSU) Space Science Center in Kentucky. The main goal of this project is the design and manufacturing of an autonomous space system to investigate potential effects of the space environment exposure on a human glioblastoma multiforme cell line derived from a 65-year-old male and on Normal Human Astrocytes (NHA).

EduSat  is an innovative Microsatellite weighing about 24 pounds and about the size of a small microwave oven, that will be launched in July 2011 from Yasny Russia on a Dnepr Rocket. EduSat began as a collaboration between the University of Rome and the Italian Space Agency and now includes the Morehead State University Space Science Center and Kentucky Space. During its first 30 days on orbit, EduSat will test an orbital deployer designed to release femto‐class satellites. While the femtosats will not be released on the first mission, the deployment system that will ultimately deploy them will be tested.

RAMPART  is intended to certify warm gas propulsion subsystems and magnetic stabilization for Cubesat orbital altitude adjustment, as well as rapid prototyping methods of building one-piece satellite structures, propellant tanks, printed circuit board cages, erectable solar panels, antenna deployment mechanisms, etc. at a fraction of the cost of current methods.
