<SnoopJ> raptop, it's very cool to see 6U cubesats after having been vaguely around a 3U project c.a. 2010. There was definitely discussion of NASA Wallops wanting a more platform-y way to do things and I remember 6U being mentioned as a kind of "out there" idea.
<raptop> 6U sats are good(tm)
<SnoopJ> oh cool
<SnoopJ> The polarimeter from that cubesat mission is going onto PACE apparently
<galois> title: HARP2 on PACE - Earth and Space Institute - UMBC
<raptop> As best I'm aware 6U sats have been flying for a while
<SnoopJ> ...huh, I didn't realize CalPoly had a spec for it,
<SnoopJ> provisional release was 20 April 2016 (heh.) and 1.0 was 7 June 2018 with no changes
<SnoopJ> also wow wait there's VIDEO of HARP being deployed? https://twitter.com/NASAEarth/status/1233061730030219268
<SnoopJ> neat
<raptop> shiny
<raptop> Also, for some reason cubesat deployments always look like some sci-fi weapon firing >_>
<raptop> !8 Is the surest sign that you're in a place of honor the glowing cats?
<galois> raptop: no

<WeylandsWings> SnoopJ: there is also a spec for 12U sats
<WeylandsWings> raptop: I think the SCIfi effect is because mass driver rounds in sci-fi tend to be square
