IceCube was built to map ice clouds globally. It had a submillimeter radiometer to overcome the limitation of ice particles in clouds being opaque in the infrared and visible spectrums. [5] [7] It was made to demonstrate a 833-gigahertz submillimeter-wave receiver as part of a technology demonstration mission. [3] [4] [8]
CubeSat. Ncube-2, a Norwegian CubeSat (10 cm (3.9 in) cube) A CubeSat is a class of small satellite with a form factor of 10 cm (3.9 in) cubes. [1] CubeSats have a mass of no more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) per unit, [2] and often use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components for their electronics and structure. CubeSats are deployed into orbit from ...
The court in 2022 rejected a separate challenge to SpaceX's plan to deploy satellites at a lower Earth orbit than planned. In late 2022, the FCC approved SpaceX's request to deploy up to 7,500 ...
