A goal is to demonstrate the satellite bus technology for the 50 kg microsatellite class and to verify COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) components such as microprocessors, memory, and Li-ion batteries in the space.
The second mission goal is the high-speed attitude maneuver experiment using newly developed CMGs (Control Moment Gyros) to demonstrate spacecraft agility.
Demonstration of a high-resolution (14 m) optical camera as part of the payload.
Science and engineering mission - involving the observation of polarized X-ray and gamma-ray radiation sources.
