AESP-14 is a Brazilian 1U Cubesat developed by multiple Brazilian institutions. It was launched on 10 January 2015 aboard the SpaceX CRS-5 mission on a Falcon 9 v1.1 rocket. It was the first Brazilian Cubesat ever launched into space.[1]
On 5 February, the satellite was deployed from the International Space Station using the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Small Satellite Orbital Deployer,[2] but an unknown malfunction caused it to be unable to transmit any data back to Earth.[citation needed] The satellite reentered the atmosphere on 11 May 2015.[3]
