The CubeSat mission, called the Colorado Student Space Weather Experiment (CSSWE), housed a
small telescope to measure the flux of solar energetic protons and Earth's
radiation belt electrons.
Exploring Europa, or the asteroid
belt around Neptune and Pluto, being able to see Jupiter up in the distance or avoid the
radiation and heat of the sun as you battle through a
small mining compound on a runaway asteroid, it all felt very unique and much needed.
