CFESat: Launched 2007

SSTL supplied the platform for the Cibola Flight Experiment satellite (CFESat) to LANL.  

CFESat examines radio spectra for ionosphere and lightning studies, using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).  As well as science observation, the mission aims to show use of reconfigurable FPGAs to work in the radiation environment of low Earth orbit.
