Description: After winning NASA’s Cube Quest Centennial Challenge ground competition in 2017, team Cislunar Explorers from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, was one of three teams awarded the opportunity to launch their CubeSat on Artemis I, NASA’s first test flight of the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft. Once deployed, the team will test their water electrolysis propulsion technology in space — something that could revolutionize how we explore our solar system.
