Radar Fence Transponder

Radar Fence Transponder was an amateur radio satellite that was developed and built for training purposes at the United States Naval Academy. The 3 kg (6.6 lb) heavy RAFT had a cubic structure of 12.7 cm (5.0 in) edge length and therefore did not meet the Cubesat standard. Solar cells on all six sides of the satellite were used to supply energy. It had neither position control nor drive systems.

Mission
The satellite was released on 21 December 2006 with Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-116) from Kennedy Space Center, Florida. On 30 May 2007, it was re-entered on Earth atmosphere. ==See also==
