TechCube 1
TechCube 1 [NASA]
TechCube 1 is a 3U-CubeSat nanosatellite designed and built by NASA Goddard to test new technologies.
The satellite carries the REPT (Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope) sensor of a new simple, low-cost design, an imager and a SpaceCube high performance processor.
REPT can measure electrons in the 1-5 MeV energy range and protons in the 15-50 MeV energy range.
