Aminteam in articolele noastre anterioare de dubla misiune MarCO, care insoteste ultimul robot martian trimis de NASA in spatiu.
Prima misiune Cubesat interplanetara, a reusit la sfarsitul lunii mai, prima corectie de orbita din aceasta clasa. Sistemul de propulsie de la bordul fiecarui nanosatelit, denumit Mips (Micro CubeSat Propulsion System), produs de compania Vacco, ce foloseste un gaz comprimat numit R236FA, similar celor din stingatoarele de foc, a fost activat cu succes, modificand traiectoria, pentru o interceptie a planetei rosii undeva la sfarsitul lunii noiembrie. Sistemul foloseste 8 motoare de 25 mN si doua rezervoare (unul pentru stocarea combustibilului si altul pentru vaporii generati), cantarind in total nu mai mult de 3.5 kg (din 14 kg cat are fiecare satelit).

3D Navigation
Navigate and explore geographic data on 3D. We've created an interface to the Google Earth plugin that enables you to quickly access and explore locations
on Earth as well as in space. The rich interface allows you to easily switch or jump between the built-in coordinates on Earth, various planets, galaxies
and stars. The application will be under constant development and new locations and features will be added.
Currently available features provide the tools to visualize specific predefined coordinates like:
