jsc2021e052201 (3/2/2021) --- One of the payload cameras is installed into the Binar-1 flight model. The custom-made Binar Bus, the powerhouse of the satellite, sits high up in the 1U CubeSat frame, separated from the installed payload by the slim silver transceiver. Binar-1 is a 1-Unit (1U) CubeSat, the first in a series from Curtin University in Perth, Australia, to help establish a capability for planetary research. The satellite is developed by a team of students and researchers with the intention to cultivate the skills and technology to build future planetary missions focused on the Moon and small bodies of the solar system.
