CFESAT

'CFESat', the 'Cibola Flight Experiment Satellite', examines radio spectra for ionospheric and lightning studies, using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). As well as science observation, the mission aims to show use of reconfigurable FPGAs to work in the radiation environment of low Earth orbit.
The satellite payloads were built by Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the bus was built by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.
CFESat was launched from Cape Canaveral on 8 March 2007, alongside Orbital Express, MidSTAR-1 and FalconSAT-3.
