Thieves last Wednesday burgled the Intelligent Space Systems Laboratory (ISSL) of the All Nations University College. They made away with three high processing computers, system engineering designs for both cubeSat and ground station. The burglars also took away data obtained from the CanSat that was launched recently as well as research finding papers, prototype design of the cubeSat soft system as well as the stimulation results and diagrams. While conducting investigations, the police and some security personnel of the university chanced upon three system units parked under a tree by the roadside. Briefing the Daily Graphic, the Director of the university�s ISSL, Mr Manfred Quarshie, stated that �the softwares stolen are intellectual components which would be used on CubeSat and the ground station. It is going to be a great setback to our quest to build both earth observational satellite and the ground station. �We will not let our aim of pursuing our dreams be undermined in anyway�, Mr Quarshie stated. Asked if the computers that were found under a tree were not those suspected to have been stolen, he stated that �For now, we cannot authenticate that these machines are ours until we assist the police to carry out investigations,� Mr Quarshie stated. �This is intelligence software and you might not know what has been taken or placed in the machines to monitor our activities or destroy them,� he said.
