GPS radio occultation experiment to characterize the upper atmosphere (University of Calgary), an atmospheric spectrometer to measure greenhouse gases (York University), and a space materials experiment to evaluate the effects of atomic oxygen on a protective coating (University of Toronto). The technologies that have been successfully tested include a novel propulsion system (Nanosatellite Propulsion System, or ?NANOPS?), custom UHF and S-band radios, innovative attitude sensors and actuators, and a modified commercial GPS receiver.
