Orbiting Picosat Automatic Launcher

Orbiting Picosat Automatic Launcher (also known as OPAL-OSCAR 38, SQUIRT 2 and OO-38) is an American technology testing and

nanosatellites in orbit (MEMS 1A, MEMS 1B, STENSAT, MASAT (JAK), Artemis-Thelma and Artemis-Louise). The development started in 1995 and was completed in May 1999.^[1]

OPAL was launched on January 27, 2000 together with

Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.^[2]
