The O/OREOS satellite is NASA's first cubesat

O/OREOS (Organism/ORganics Exposure to Orbital Stresses) Nanosatellite


The O/OREOS satellite is NASA's first cubesat to demonstrate the capability to have two distinct, completely independent science experiments on an autonomous satellite. One experiment will test how microorganisms survive and adapt to the stresses of space; the other will monitor the stability of organic molecules in space.
