NanoACE is a technology demonstration CubeSat by Tyvak Nano-Satellite Systems to validate their communications, navigation, guidance, and software technology.[1][5] NanoACE was launched onboard a Soyuz-2.1a Fregat-M, on July 14, 2017, along with Russian Earth imaging satellite Kanopus-V-IK and 71 other CubeSats.[6]
The satellite has two Infrared and two visible light cameras.[5] It can maneuver via its cold gas propulsion system.[2][5]
