The Robert "Bob" Twiggs Photograph Collection consists of photographs taken and acquired by Bob Twiggs during his career as an aerospace engineer and professor of space systems engineering from 1999 to 2018. The collection includes almost 1,000 images of programs and projects that Professor Twiggs was associated with during his tenor at Weber State University, Stanford University, and Morehead State University.
Known as the “Father of the CubeSat,” Prof. Robert “Bob” Twiggs is an American aerospace engineer, educator, and emeritus Professor of Astronautics and Space Science at Morehead State University. He is best known as the co-inventor, with Jordi Puig-Suari, of the CubeSat reference design, a small satellite standard that helped universities, researchers, companies, and government organizations gain more affordable access to space. Twiggs was also critical in the invention and development of several other educational satellite concepts, including CanSat, PocketQube, and ThinSat. Across his career, Twiggs has focused on hands-on STEM education, using small satellites and related projects to teach students how to design, build, test, and operate real space systems.
