Additional information AEROCUBE 15B
Demonstrate rapid development of a small size, weight and power (SWAP), low cost optical sensor in low earth orbit. The payload consists of a custom-designed telescope combined with a commercially available camera core. Observing cloud backgrounds and ground targets to research the capabilities of commercially derived technology for space mission applications. Aerospace had to further modify commercial parts or design their own when off-the-shelf parts, like a commercial infrared lens, didn?t meet performance needs.
