The University of Kansas plans to launch KUbeSat, which will be a part of a NASA CubeSat mission, in a 400 km elevation, circumpolar orbit. KUbeSat will house the Primary Cosmic Ray Detector (PCRD, or “Picard”) which will detect primary cosmic rays using a novel technique based on activation of a Boron plate.
