The TEMPEST mission concept deploys a closely-spaced train of CubeSats that carry identical low-mass, low-power millimeter-wave radiometers with full heritage from TEMPEST-D. The TEMPEST satellite train samples rapid changes in convection and the surrounding water vapor by observing every 3-4 minutes for up to 30 minutes. Image courtesy of NASA JPL. -

Expedition 56 Flight Engineer Serena Auñón-Chancellor installs the NanoRacks Cubesat Deployer-14 (NRCSD-14) on the Multipurpose Experiment Platform inside the Japanese Kibo laboratory module. The NRCSD-14 was then placed in the Kibo airlock and moved outside of the space station to deploy a variety of cubesats into Earth orbit. Image courtesy of NASA.
