ANDESITE

The Rocket Lab mission “Don’t Stop Me Now” will place into orbit ANDESITE, a cubesat built by Boston University and whose launch is being provided by NASA.

The ANDESITE satellite from Boston University was manifested on the mission as part of NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative and was described in Rocket Lab's mission overview as carrying sensors to measure the magnetosphere and releasing eight picosatellites with magnetometers.

The 2020-06-11 Electron launch includes the ANDESITE cubesat built by students at Boston University whose launch was arranged by NASA.
