Veery 0F (Veery v0.4, Fledgling Veery TBD) is a picosatellite developed by Care Weather Technologies to the 1U CubeSat form factor as a technology demonstrator for their planned Veery wind scatterometer satellites.
TBD will launch on the SpaceX Transporter 12 mission. After launch, it'll deploy its antenna and commission its radio, pointing sensors, and pointing actuators.
TBD' will demonstrate measurement of ocean surface wind speed, aLinux central processor, attitude determination and control software for nadir pointing, deployment of solar arrays, shape-memory alloy deployment actuators and over-the-air updates and a high-rate radio.
