# Pathfinder-4

Lightweight Integrated Solar Array And Antenna (LISA-T) payloads

## Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator 4

PTD-4, a 6U CubeSat designed to set to test a new solar panel system developed by NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, the Lightweight Integrated Solar Array and Antenna (LISA-T). This multi-functional system, called LISA-T, is special because it’s not only lightweight but can also unfold in space to reveal a large solar panel with a built-in antenna.

The multiple, planned PTD missions will demonstrate and validate new and novel subsystem technologies that can be scaled and utilized on a wide range of future science and exploration missions.
