The European Space Agency is calling the cubic radar JuRa, named after the Juventas cubesat to be packed aboard Hera. JuRa is 4-inch (10-centimeter) box that will be hitching a ride on the Juventas CubeSat as Hera visits the post-DART Dimorphos-Didymos system in a few years.
Details in today’s ESA blog post are sparse on the cube’s specific mission, but the agency wrote that JuRa is a miniature version of a probe previously used to study a comet’s surface during the Rosetta mission, which launched in 2004.
ESA says that JuRa will break two records as the smallest radar instrument to be flown into space as well as the first radar to probe the interior of an asteroid.
