Veery 0.9 / Planned
Veery 0.9
A planned 4U CubeSat continuing the ocean-wind radar pathfinder program.
Mission status: Planned.
A 4U pathfinder
Veery 0.9 is a planned follow-on to the earlier CubeSat pathfinders, using a 4U spacecraft. The program develops radar calibration, spacecraft pointing, and ground communications before scaling up to Veery 1.0. Version-specific instrument specifications and launch details have not yet been announced.
Ocean-wind measurements
The pathfinder program is designed to measure ocean-surface wind speed and direction using C-band radar. Simulations of the baseline pathfinder indicate 50 km wind cells across a 750 km swath. These are modeled capabilities, not measurements demonstrated in orbit or specifications validated for each version.
