GRAPHENE EXPERIMENT PROVIDED BY BARBAROS GROUP AND WAYFINDER II FOR SPACE APPLICATIONS
This is a 3U CubeSat Structure with experimental housing — The Centre for Advanced Two-Dimensional Materials (CA2DM) of the National University of Singapore (NUS) has partnered with US-based Boreal Space to test the properties of graphene material after it has been launched into the stratosphere.
During this launch, the graphene material will be subjected to rapid acceleration, vibration, acoustic shock, strong pressure, and a wide range in temperature fluctuations. The research team will retrieve the graphene material and will be testing its properties to see if it was able to resist the various challenges imposed by the launch environment. Technologies that push the limits in graphene research by demonstrating electro-magnetic shielding; efficient solar power generation; and excellent thermal protection.
