UNITE (satellite)


UNITE is a CubeSat nanosatellite developed by the University of Southern Indiana. The project was funded by NASA's Undergraduate Student Instrument Project and primarily designed and built by students. It was launched into space on 5 December 2018 and is expected to be deployed into its orbit from the International Space Station in early 2019. Its mission includes measuring plasma in the lower ionosphere and monitoring the drag and temperature of the satellite itself.
