Ho`oponopono-2 (Hawaiian for “to make right”) CubeSat
The Ho`oponopono-2 (Hawaiian for “to make right”) CubeSat was built by students from the University of Hawaii, Honolulu that will provide a student-built, low-cost radar calibration nanosatellite carrying a C-band transponder and high-accuracy GPS payload to continue a long-existing radar calibration and performance service supplementing two existing, aging spacecraft. Launched by NASA’s CubeSat Launch Initiative on the ELaNa IV mission as an auxiliary payload aboard the U.S. Air Force-led Operationally Responsive Space (ORS-3) Mission on November 19, 2013.
