Edison Demonstration of Smallsat Networks

Edison Demonstration of Smallsat Networks (EDSN) was a failed (launch failure) CubeSat constellation by NASA Ames, developed as a technology demonstration of satellite networking.

EDSN was funded through the Small Spacecraft Technology Program (SSTP).

All 8 CubeSats were destroyed during a launch failure of the Super Strypi rocket on November 3, 2015.
