Big Red Sat 1 (BRS 1)
Big Red Sat 1 [University of Nebraska]
The Big Red Sat 1 is a technology demonstration 1U CubeSat mission by the University of Nebraska designed with a primary goal of engaging and developing future aerospace engineers by contributing to the development of critical technologies to improve solar power generation. The technology demonstration secondary focus is to take proven perovskite panel technology at technical readiness level (TRL)-5 to TRL-6 by testing the panels in space using flight heritage information and systems to maximize potential success.
It was selected in 20xx by NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) to be launched as part of the ELaNa program.
