Bookmark or Share- RainCube | NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)RainCube (Radar in a CubeSat) is a technology demonstration mission to enable Ka-band precipitation radar technologies on a low-cost, quick-turnaround platform. Sponsored by NASA's Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO) through the InVEST-15 program, RainCube developed a 35.75 GHz radar payload to operate within the 6U CubeSat form factor.
- INSPIRE - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)INSPIRE is funded by NASA's Planetary Science Division (PSD) as a collaboration between the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), California Polytechnic-San Luis Obispo (CalPoly), Goldstone-Apple Valley Radio Telescope (GAVRT), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of California - Los Angeles (UCLA), University of Michigan (UMich ...
- NASA Launches Second Small Climate Satellite to Study Earth’s PolesThe CubeSat launched on top Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket from the company’s Launch Complex 1 in Māhia, New Zealand, and follows the May 25 launch of the first PREFIRE CubeSat. After a 30-day checkout period, when engineers and scientists confirm both CubeSats are operating normally, the mission is expected to operate for 10 months.
- ASTERIA | NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)ASTERIA was a 6U CubeSat (roughly 10 x 20 x 30 cm, 10 kg) that operated in low-Earth orbit. The payload consisted of a lens and baffle assembly, a CMOS imager, and a two-axis piezoelectric positioning stage on which the focal plane was mounted. A set of commercial reaction wheels provided coarse attitude control.
- RACE | NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)The Radiometer Atmospheric CubeSat Experiment, or RACE, is a test of technology designed to improve NASA's Earth science and space exploration capabilities. The mission consists of a compact radiometer instrument that will collect Earth science data for use in weather forecasting and climate models, packed into a satellite about the size of a ...
