If a change is deemed required by the Cube Quest Challenge administrative team adjustments to maintain compliance will be made.
Team Members
Registered Team Members have asserted that they are willing to help Team Alpha Cubesat, agree to fill out the required paperwork, play by the Cube Quest Challenge and Team Alpha Cubesat rules, and be available for such Team assignments/work product commitments as their respective schedules permit.
Please note in order to be designated as a Team Member you must meet the published NASA Cube Quest Challenge and Team Alpha CubeSat requirements, obtain concurrence at the weekly team meeting, and have all your paperwork completed.
Please note in order to be on this list all required paperwork must completed and on file with the Team Lead
Team Advisors
Team Advisors are asserting that they are willing to help Team Alpha Cubesat, play by the Cube Quest Challenge and Team Alpha Cubesat rules, but cannot necessarily make specific time and/or work product commitments. They understand that if they take a substantive role in work product generation that the team member required paperwork may become applicable to them.
The Team is more than just the summation of the Team Members that are registered, the advisors can and will play critical role in the success of the project.
