Cryogenic Flight DemonstrationModel Series: CRYOCUBE-001
CryoCube
A compact CubeSat platform for cryogenic fluid management experiments
System Overview
CryoCube is a 3U CubeSat with a deployable sunshield that enables elements of the payload to reach cryogenic temperatures. Its payload is a pressure system for cryogenic fluid management experiments, developed by Sierra Lobo in collaboration with NASA Kennedy Space Center under Space Act Agreement KCA-4383.
Designed with mission assurance as a priority, this system leverages Sierra Lobo's engineering heritage to support robust performance in demanding operational environments.
