It was launched in August 2021 onboard of Dragon CRS-23 to the ISS, where it was deployed on 12 October 2021. The payload design is a collaboration between students at UIUC and at University of Waterloo. It was selected in 2017 by NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) to be launched as part of the ELaNa program. launched with one of the NASA USIP satellites, CAPSat. Wash sprouts and saut with salt, put them on a plate. Put dry bean curd skin () into a bowl and pour hot water for 10 mins. The SPAD (single-photon avalanche detectors) quantum annealing payload will evaluate technologies for healing radiation damage in crystalline single photon detectors. Put dry mushrooms (20) into a bowl and pour hot water in. The meaning of the CAPSat acronym was hence changed from 'Cooling, Annealing, Pointing Satellite' to 'Cool Annealing Payload Satellite'. The SPAD annealing payload is the sole science payload of the mission. The respective deployable panels of the two removed payloads were also uninstalled from the spacecraft. For Eason, who plans to attend graduate school in aerospace engineering at UIUC after graduating, the delivery marked an important step in a project he’s been working on since he first came to Illinois. With the approval of NASA, the payloads were de-manifested from the mission and uninstalled in order to reduce risk to the SPAD annealing payload. CAPSat is installed into the Nanoracks CubeSat deployer. single-photon avalanche detectors (SPAD)ĭue to a lack of development resources, the active cooling payload and the strain-actuated fine pointing control payload were determined to be unsuitable for flight by the mission team at the University of Illinois.an active thermal system for small spacecraft.The CAPSat ( Cool Annealing Payload Satellite) is a 3U CubeSat a technology demonstration mission for CubeSat navigation and control.ĬAPSat was originally to investigate three unique science experiments utilizing the onboard payloads:
