Mission details:

• On Oct 24, 2017 the NanoRacks KABER deployer was used for the first time.
  KABER is used for 50 kg class satellites; it was extracted from the Kibo airlock by the Canadarm-2/Dextre robot arm combo and the US Army′s Kestrel Eye II-M imaging satellite was ejected into orbit. KABER was returned to the airlock and the SIMPL satellite, from the infelicitously-named NovaWurks Inc., was attached to it. SIMPL was then deployed on Oct 27, 2017.
• It is a test of the ′satlet′ concept and was assembled on board ISS on Oct 25 from a set of six smaller HiSat-PAC units and two solar arrays, delivered to the station on Cygnus OA-4 in 2015. SIMPL also carries the QIKcom-1 US Naval Academy amateur radio payload.
