ESA's first stand-alone deep-space CubeSat Henon takes shape
The European Space Agency's upcoming Henon mission will be the first ever CubeSat to independently venture into deep space, communicate with Earth and maneuver to its final destination without relying on a bigger spacecraft. Once in its orbit around the sun, the carry-on luggage-sized CubeSat will observe the sun's emissions to demonstrate technologies capable of providing advanced warnings of solar storms hours before they reach Earth.

Small but Mighty: How ESA’s Henon Will Change Space Exploration Forever
In a milestone for small satellite technology, the European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing to launch Henon, the first CubeSat designed to independently journey into deep space. This compact spacecraft, roughly the size of carry-on luggage, will orbit the Sun and monitor solar emissions, marking a leap toward self-reliant missions beyond Earth’s immediate neighborhood. Breaking The Boundaries Of Small Spacecraft Engineering The Henon mission, sh…
The next Henon mission of the European Space Agency will be the first CubeSat to venture independently into remote space, to communicate with the Earth and to manoeuvre to its final destination without dependent on a larger spaceship. Once in orbit around the sun, the CubeSat, from the size of a baggage to [...]
