However, God promised him that if he would open his mouth, it would be filled, Sister Dew said. According to the scripture, Enoch was slow of speech and could not preach to the people. Sister Dew referenced the story of Enoch from the book of Moses. Dew spoke to participants of BYU women’s conference on May 5. Sister Dew said being a publisher, referencing her position as CEO of Deseret Book, she has had the opportunity to interact with many of “the most articulate, faithful minds in our culture.” BYU Women’s Conference goers take a selfie together. She said she wanted to discuss what kept her faithful during those times. However, Sister Dew said she has had times where she struggled to feel there was a place for her in the Church. “I’ve never struggled to believe that God’s my father or that Jesus is the Christ.” “The short answer to that is ‘no,'” she said. She said she often receives questions from individuals about if she has ever struggled with her testimony. Sister Dew began by thanking everyone for attending and sharing words of encouragement to those in attendance. “You were absolutely marvelous,” Little Giddins said of participants. Participants of women’s conference engaged in an evening of service on May 4 creating hygiene kits, meal kits, gathering supplies and more. Lita Little Giddins, associate vice president of the BYU Office of Belonging, opened the session and introduced Sister Dew. Dew encouraged men and women to live celestially and strengthen their relationship with God during her BYU Women’s Conference keynote address on May 5. Sister Dew invited them to live celestially in a telestial world. Dew speaks to participants of BYU Women’s Conference on May 5. The launch date for ELaNa 20 is still to be determined.Sheri L. “It’s pretty small, but even the simplest spacecraft can be quite complex,” Long said. ![]() According to engineers, that’s four times as many cables as a desktop computer at only a sixth of the size. It will be an impressive feat for a tiny, but intricate satellite - and a first for BYU’s College of Engineering.īecause the CubeSats have a camera on each face, there is a lot of tech packed in their 144 square centimeters, including six solar panels, four battery circuit boards, a radio circuit board, a computing board, and more than 25 cables. ![]() “There will be a bunch of us in the Engineering Building waiting in front of a screen, looking for a signal to show up on a little graph and we’ll be ecstatic when we see it.” 1 thing I can’t wait to see: those antennas scanning across the sky, watching for satellites,” said BYU grad student Patrick Walton. Satellite dishes atop the Clyde Engineering Building will scan the sky for the CubeSat and download its images and data when in range. Those images and video will be transmitted back to Earth, where engineers, including those at BYU, will be listening. Later, antennas will be triggered, the radio will start up, and the nano satellites will begin sending data.ĭownload this Gallery By clicking this link you agree to our Terms & Conditions The moment BYU’s CubeSats are deployed, they will boot up in less than a second and start recording video. The 10 nanosatellites will be loaded into a variety of tubular dispensers and deployed by a pressurized spring once in space. ELaNa, which stands for Educational Launch of NanoSatellites, are mission complements selected by NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) at Kennedy Space Center that support education, scientific exploration, and technical testing which can be used for future missions. Two versions of the BYU CubeSat will join satellites from eight other universities as part of NASA’s ELaNa 20 mission, scheduled to launch sometime this month from California on Virgin Galactic’s “Cosmic Girl” spacecraft. “In other words, it’s a spacecraft selfie cam.” “It’s a satellite that is designed to take pictures of another satellite,” said BYU engineering professor David Long. The 10-centimeter CubeSat, which includes contributions from more than 60 students over a five-year period, is outfitted with cameras on all six sides and will make it possible to inexpensively detect damage on the exterior of a spacecraft that cannot be seen in other ways.

BYU "spacecraft selfie cam" is ready to launch. ![]()
