Five undergraduate students from the University of Arizona's College of Engineering, including recent aerospace and mechanical engineering graduate Sameep Arora, helped build two 24-inch telescopes in seven months to track satellites and space junk. Starting June 20, after a first light ceremony at 6 p.m., one of the telescopes will run autonomously each night in the place where the old telescope once stood.
