Image other CubeSats autonomously and demonstrate CubeSat platform technologies. |
| Description |
Image other CubeSats autonomously using H264 compression. Create a reference design for an inspector satellite that others can build off of and a reference process where university students can launch productive CubeSats with the highest chance of success. 1080p camera, 32-bit ARM microcontroller with SRAM and FRAM, UHF radio and non-deploying antenna, nondeploying solar array, and ~20Wh of lithium-ion battery capacity. |
