About this technology

Overview

CubeRRT (CubeSat Radiometer Radio Frequency Interface Technology) is designed for remote earth sensing. The CubeRRT payload has three critical pieces of technology, a wideband antenna unit, a radiometer front-end (RFE) unit, and a radiometer digital back-end (RDB). In order to accommodate these components, Goddard innovated the CubeRRT (CubeSat Radiometer Radio Frequency radiometer) to be compact and operate at a low-power.
