PRETTY CubeSat will receive signals from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) satellites visible just above it. Two patch antennas on its forward face will pick up the same signal from the same satellite, or rather one signal that has reached it through space, and the equivalent signal that has reflected off Earth’s cryosphere or oceans. A miniaturized dosimeter will be tracking the CubeSat’s ongoing radiation exposure.

Voyager, NASA’s Longest-Lived Mission, Logs 45 Years in Space
NASA's twin Voyager probes remain on the cutting edge of space exploration. They are the only probes to ever explore interstellar space – the galactic ocean that our Sun and its planets travel through. Researchers are combining Voyager’s observations with data from newer missions to get a more complete picture of our Sun.
