   The ULTRASat payload houses nine NRO-sponsored CubeSats, including:
   ï‚· Three developed by the U.S. Naval Academy, including the USS Langley,
   whose primary objective is to demonstrate the ability to host a web server
   on a CubeSat. A second, built in conjunction with the George Washington
   University, will characterize the performance of miniature pulse plasma
   thrusters. The third, Parkinsonat, will demonstrate the operation of a
   communications payload with two transponders in the Amateur Satellite
   Service. One transponder enables handheld texting and position/data
   reporting between handheld radios anywhere on Earth and/or the Internet,
   and the second transponder can support up to 30 simultaneous text users
   from laptop-type portable ground stations.
