BurstCube was designed and built at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
BurstCube underwent thermal vacuum testing at Goddard where test temperatures ranged from minus 4 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 20 to 45 degrees Celsius).
Goddard engineers delivered the BurstCube satellite to Nanoracks, part of Voyager Space, in Houston, Texas for packing prior to launch.
To qualify for launch, BurstCube underwent vibration testing at Washington Laboratories in Frederick, Maryland with vibration frequencies ranging from 20 to 20,000 hertz.
