ST5 payload
Cold Gas Micro-Thruster (CUTC)
Controls will provide propulsion for orbit maintenance.
The X-Band Transponder Communication System
will support two-way communications between the ST5 micro-satellites and the
ground stations.
Variable Emittance Coatings for Thermal Control
will test the ability to configure the thermal characteristics of a radiator
surface on the micro sat.
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) Ultra-Low Power Radiation
Tolerant (CULPRiT) Logic
Provides a low-power digital-logic test circuit that will help reduce power
requirements for future satellites.
