Small satellites, called CubeSats, are shown 

secured inside NASA’s Orion stage adapter. The 

ring-shaped stage adapter will be connected to 

the Space Launch System’s Interim Cryogenic 

Propulsion Stage, and the Orion spacecraft will 

be secured on top. The CubeSats will conduct a 

variety of science experiments and technology 

demonstrations that will expand our knowledge 

of the lunar surface during the Artemis mission. 

Maine’s MESAT1 was selected as one of the small 

research satellites.

Five Maine suppliers contributed to NASA’s Artemis 

program. An example of the state’s contributions is the 

design and fabrication of materials and components for 

the abort tower’s propulsion system.
