Additional information AEROCUBE 10B (DOUGSAT)
Steam propulsion system with 30 grams of water. Will release 29 atmospheric probes 16 grams each, which will unfold into three 9.8 cm discs orthogonal to each other. Second payload is an electron and proton spectrometer called the micro-Charged Particle Telescope (uCPT). It will measure radiation flux impinging on the satellite, in specific energy levels that are suspected to cause solar cell degradation. The third payload is a sensor that will confirm when the optical beacon is impinging
on the satellite.
