CUBERRT (CubeSat Radiometer Radio Frequency Interference Technology Validation) is a satellite mission selected under NASA’s In-space Validation of Earth Science Technologies (InVEST) program to demonstrate on-board, real-time RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) processing. The CUBERRT payload has three critical pieces of technology, a wideband antenna unit, a radiometer front-end (RFE) unit, and a radiometer digital back-end (RDB) that performs the on-board detection and filtering of RFI. The main objective of the CubeRRT mission is to demonstrate the RFI mitigation technology on a flight-ready hardware in space, increasing the technology readiness level (TRL) from 6 to 7.
