RaInCube, also stylized as RainCube, was a 6U CubeSat made by NASA as an experimental satellite. The bus was built by Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems. It had a small radar and an antenna. It was put into orbit in May 2018 and was deployed from the International Space Station on June 25, 2018. It re-entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up on Dec. 24, 2020. It was used to track large storms. Wikipedia →
