Daniel Cavender and Dr. Brandon Denton snag a photo op with Dr. Nehemiah Williams, the project manager of NASA's Green Propulsion Dual Model (GPDM) mission, at Small Satellite Conference (SmallSat). Rubicon built the green propulsion module for the spacecraft. GPDM, a 6U cubesat (model on table), will demo chemical and electric thrusters that use a single fuel, ASCENT (AF-M315E).
