PAN A/B (ELaNa 29)

Wiki

The PAN (Pathfinder for Autonomous Navigation) is a technology demonstration series of satellite aimed to test autonomous docking operations between CubeSats. The form factor is a 3U CubeSat and are probably the most complex CubeSats ever made to date, they will test new algorithms for rendezvous and docking as well as new magnetic docking technology and new GPS-based docking systems that could lead to a simplification of standard docking hardware. PAN started as a collaboration between NASA’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, and Cornell University.

TechEdSat 13

Wiki

TechEdSat-13, from NASA’s Ames Research Center, is a 3U nanosatellite that carries a unique artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) module featuring the first orbital flight of a neuromorphic processor. In addition, there is a unique exo-atmospheric brake that will help rapidly de-orbit this and future nanosatellites. With this exo-brake technology, TechEdSat-13 will help address the accumulation and efficient disposal of orbital debris. This effort also helps to set the stage for autonomous navigation for nanosatellites to drop from orbit and reach their planned destination on Earth.
