Carry the first generation of their mGnify lab to conduct biochemical experiments in microgravity. |
| Description |
In comparison with its predecessor, DIDO-2, the platform has been upgraded to include an enlarged structure, now in the so-called 3U.XL CubeSat form factor, and deployable solar panels to be able to deliver more power to the payload, required to have the necessary temperature regulation for the experiments to survive the harsh environment in space. The payload is a miniaturized medical laboratory provided by the customer. Carry the first generation of their mGnify lab to conduct biochemical experiments in microgravity. |
