FASTSAT is a small, microsatellite class spacecraft bus that will carry six experiment payloads to low-Earth orbit. One of FASTSAT's mission objectives is to demonstrate the spacecraft's ability to eject a nanosatellite from a microsatellite while avoiding re-contact with the FASTSAT satellite bus.
