Description
PY4 is a low-cost, rapid-turn-around, four-satellite technology demonstration based on the open-source PyCubed avionics framework led by Carnegie Mellon University in collaboration with NASA SSTP. PY4 will demonstrate low SWaP-C SC-to-SC ranging, on-orbit topology determination, and coordinated measurements for future spacecraft swarm systems.
