    Argentine microsatellite to fly on NASA's Artemis 2 Moon mission

    The satellite, named Atenea, is a 12U-class CubeSat measuring 30 by 20 by 20 centimeters and weighing 15 kilograms

    A microsatellite designed and built entirely in Argentina will travel as a secondary payload on the crewed Artemis 2 mission, which NASA plans to launch Wednesday from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Argentina is the only Latin American country selected to participate and one of four globally, alongside Germany, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea.
