Mars Cube One
Mars Cube One (or MarCO ) is a Mars flyby mission consisting of two nanospacecraft, of the 6U CubeSat format, that was launched on 5 May 2018 alongside NASA 's InSight Mars lander mission. Mars Cube One was a test of new miniaturized communications and navigation technologies. They were able to provide a real-time communications link to Earth for InSight during its entry, descent, and landing (EDL) on 26 November 2018, when InSight was out of line of sight from the Earth. [4] Mars Cube One is the first CubeSat designed to operate beyond Earth orbit; asides from telecommunications, they also tested CubeSats' endurance in deep space.

Mars Cube One (or MarCO ) is a Mars flyby mission consisting of two nanospacecrafts, of a size that JPL has referred to as a "6U CubeSat ", that is planned for launch in 2018 or later alongside NASA 's InSight Mars lander mission. Mars Cube One is intended to provide a communications link to Earth for InSight during mission critical entry, descent, and landing when InSight will be out of sight from the Earth. [2] Mars Cube One is expected to be the first spacecraft built to the CubeSat form to operate beyond Earth orbit. |
