The Nanoracks-Killick-1 CubeSat is pictured during vibration testing conducted by Canadian Space Agency (CSA) personnel. Nanoracks-Killick-1 measures sea ice using Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R). Potential applications of GNSS-R include providing data for weather and climate models and improving understanding of ocean phenomena such as surface winds and storm surge.
