Description of DRAGONSAT Satellite:

DRAGONSat, the Dual RF Astrodynamic GPS Orbital Navigator Satellite, is a pair of picosatellites (AggieSat 2 and PARADIGM/BEVO 1) launched from Cape Canaveral on STS 127 on 15 July 2009 at 22:03 UT and deployed from the payload bay of the shuttle on 30 July 2009 at 12:33 UT. The mission of DRAGONSat is to provide data useful for the independent rendezvous of spacecraft in orbit using GPS data. Each satellite is a 13 cm cube weighing about 3 kg. The satellites will collect several orbits of position data from both hemispheres by testing a new NASA GPS receiver (DRAGON) aboard the satellites, and then downlink the data to a ground station.
