Exceeding expectations.
@NASASpitzer is celebrating 15 years of service in space. Here are some of its greatest discoveries: https://t.co/zFHuOtJkSq #Spitzer15
#ASTERIA wins Small Satellite Mission of the Year Award. This #CubeSat tests miniaturized technology for precisely measuring the brightness of stars. https://t.co/VYbobMVy3M
.@ASTERIA_CubeSat measures an exoplanet transit, a first for CubeSats. The mission, which is a collaboration between @MIT and @NASAJPL, won the SmallSat Mission of the Year. https://t.co/bGZz1U1tyR
Thank you! It’s a credit to the absolutely stellar team at @NASAJPL as well as support from @moreheadstate and everyone from @MIT who worked on the project in the early days.
@ASTERIA_CubeSat has been nominated for #Smallsat2018#MissionOfTheYear! ASTERIA is the first CubeSat to detect an exoplanet transit and it’s currently searching for new transits. Vote here before Wednesday night: https://t.co/IpexXJEMg6
#OTD one year ago ASTERIA was loaded into its deployer at @NanoRacks. It was the last time the team got to handle the satellite they built, but the beginning of an epic journey from Houston to Florida, to the @Space_Station, and finally into space!
With time in hot demand and fixed fields of view for the big telescopes, how do we search out as many planets as we would like? With cereal boxes, of course! @ASTERIA_CubeSat is demonstrating small box planet hunting efficiency. https://t.co/Jt2ZuLaxKS
Many countries new to space technologies are releasing low-cost CubeSats; Evgenya Shkolnik reviews the current state of the field: https://t.co/FbeDptSYO7
