Most all industry projects are larger than one person can accomplish so teams are essential. CubeSat has also taught me the importance of networking and never being afraid to call on or expand your network when you need anything. Weather that be help on a project, looking for co-team members or just looking for someone to hang out with. Contrary to what some may tell you in school, you don't have to have all the answers in your head, you just need to know where to find them. That may be a book, but more commonly it's your team mates or your larger network.“ Student Testimonial CubeSat Worldwide Facebook Kirk Woellert, Interorbital Systems UN – ISU SSP 2011 TP Small Satellites TP2 OECD INDEX Kirk Woellert, Interorbital Systems UN – ISU SSP 2011 TP Small Satellites TP2 Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) OECD Scorecard Investing in the Knowledge Economy Responding to the Economic Crisis Targeting New Growth Areas Competing in the World Economy Connecting to Global Research Investing in the Knowledge Economy Kirk Woellert, Interorbital Systems UN – ISU SSP 2011 TP Small Satellites TP2 OECD Scorecard Investing in the Knowledge Economy OECD Metric: New University Graduates Delft University of Technology nanosatellite program Kirk Woellert, Interorbital Systems UN – ISU SSP 2011 TP Small Satellites TP2 OECD Scorecard Connecting to Global Research OECD Metric: International Cooperation in Research CINEMA Kirk Woellert, Interorbital Systems UN – ISU SSP 2011 TP Small Satellites TP2 OECD Scorecard Competing in the World Economy OECD Metric: Entrepreneurship E.g.
