\nIt was developed by the NASA Ames Research Center, California, USA.
\nIt is the first biological CubeSat developed to travel beyond low Earth orbit (LEO).
\nIt was selected as one of the secondary payloads \u2013 and the sole biological experiment \u2013 to have the rare opportunity to catch a ride to deep space on Artemis I<\/a>,\u00a0
\nObjectives<\/p>\n
To develop the capability to support biological organisms in deep interplanetary space, and
\nTo characterize the deep space radiation environment and its effects on biological organisms.<\/p>\n
Components<\/p>\n
It is composed of two sections, one containing the scientific payloads, and a spacecraft bus equipped with solar panel arrays, batteries, micropropulsion system, star tracker navigation system, transponder, antennas, and command and data handling systems.
\nThe two payloads are the microfluidic-based BioSensor instrument and a radiation detector.
\nThe BioSensor instrument carried the budding yeast S. cerevisiae to assay biological responses to accumulated doses of deep space radiation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
