Description |
Biarri is an international defence-science collaborative program, with the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia each contributing a subsystem of the mission. One of the benefits of such collaboration is the capability building process that it fosters in the participating nations, especially as it relates to space related programs. This program involves integrating several payloads from the participating nations into three Colony 2 3U-cubesats that will be supplied by the USA, with the system integration of the payloads being carried out by AFRL. |
