HUCSAT, 69794

Orbit data source: Space-Track

HUCSAT, 69794 is an American payload satellite in LEO that was delivered to the ISS.

HUCSat, or the Harvard Undergraduate CubeSat, is a 2U Cubesat developed by undergraduate students at Harvard University and deployed to low Earth orbit from the International Space Station. The project was led by Chief Engineer Christopher Prainito and Project Manager Milligan Grinstead. HUCSat's primary mission is to test the utility and viability of shape-memory alloys in its onboard instruments to demonstrate if the technology can reduce overall satellite manufacturing costs.
