PicSat the CubeSat

A shoebox-sized satellite called PicSat, developed in record time by a small team of scientists and engineers at the Paris Observatory in France, has been launched into space to study the Beta Pictoris star system. PicSat will be assisted in its mission by the HARPS instrument on the ESO 3.6-metre telescope, which will make follow-up observations to PicSat’s detections.
