|---|---|
| Type | CubeSat |
| Units or mass | 1U |
| Status | Semi-operational? (First heard about 2 weeks after launch when secondary beacon was commanded on, but limited further updates and SatNOGS reports likely mean bad news as of 2021-12-29) |
| Launched | 2021-08-29 |
| NORAD ID | 49272 |
| Deployer | J-SSOD (JEM Small Satellite Orbital Deployer) |

| Oneliner | Test CubeSat technologies for deep space missions. |
| Results | 5 days passed and we resided ourselves to the fact that maybe we couldn’t reach Binar. Then… 2 weeks later we heard back from the satellite after successfully enabling a secondary beacon!! So now what? Where do we go from here? We take what we learn and improve it for the next mission. |
| Failure cause | Some antennas not deployed? |
