RadCube was a technology demonstration CubeSat for space weather monitoring technologies, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) in low Earth orbit between 2021 and 2024.[1][2][3][4] The satellite was constructed by the Hungarian company C3S[5] with contributions from the Hungarian Centre for Energy Research, the UK's Imperial College,[6][7][8] and the Polish company Astronika.[9][10] The satellite successfully demonstrated its radiation telescope (by Centre for Energy Research), its set of "MAGIC" magnetometer sensors (by Imperial College), and its extendable boom (by Astronika).[11][6] The MAGIC magnetometer will be implemented on future space missions including HENON, ESA's first stand-alone deep space CubeSat.[7]
