CSTB 1 [Boeing]
The CSTB 1 (CubeSat TestBed 1) cubesat is a 1.5 kg Nanosatellite for technical research. An Integrated Defense Systems Advanced Systems team of engineers at Huntington Beach, Calif., is building the spacecraft as a testbed for components that will be used in Boeing's development of nanosatellites (spacecraft weighing less than 10 kg).
Besides its brains - four microcontrollers - the tiny satellite contains:
