Skyfire Lunar-Flyby Infrared CubeSat
Skyfire was a proposed 6U CubeSat selected by NASA for a lunar flyby and infrared sensor measurements of the Moon. NASA described Lockheed Martin Space Systems as its developer; later NASA small-spacecraft material records that integration difficulties removed Skyfire from the Artemis I payload, so no flight year is asserted.
