BioSentinel, an Artemis-1 secondary spacecraft, will carry a biology experiment into deep space for the first time in 50 years. A 6U CubeSat form factor was utilized for the spacecraft and included technologies newly developed or adapted for operations beyond Earth orbit. This is the maiden deep-space voyage for the radio, propulsion system, electrical power system, and BioSensor payload. The spacecraft carries onboard budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as an analog to human cells to test the biological response to deep space radiation.
