Overview
HuskySat-1 (HS-1) is a 3U CubeSat designed, built, and tested by the Husky Satellite Lab at the University of Washington. The satellite was designed to test two experimental payloads: a pulsed plasma thruster (PPT) and a high-frequency K-band communication system, while also hosting an Amateur Radio Linear Transponder. HS-1 was launched aboard NASA's Cygnus NG-12 on November 2, 2019, and deployed into Low Earth Orbit on January 31, 2020, becoming Washington state's first amateur student-built satellite.
