Product Name: Proximity Operation With Interesting Implications
Manufacturer Name: Aerospace
Product Description: The AeroCube-10 is an innovative dual CubeSat mission launched from the Cygnus automated cargo spacecraft, featuring a groundbreaking set of atmospheric probes designed to gather in-situ measurements of the Earth’s thermosphere. Developed by The Aerospace Corporation, this mission includes a unique dispenser that releases 28 lightweight probes, each weighing only 16 grams and unfolding into three orthogonal disks with a diameter of 98 mm. These probes are set to reenter the atmosphere within months, providing valuable data on density variations in the thermosphere, a region that has been largely unexplored. The concept originated from a collaborative discussion between Aerospace engineers Jerry Fuller and Andrew Abraham, highlighting the potential of CubeSats for real-time atmospheric research.
