The Black Hole Coded Aperture Telescope ( BlackCAT ) will be launched early this year by a team led by Penn State .

It is designed as a 6U Cubesat with one particular detector for soft X-ray detection.

Soft X- rays are the lower-energy versions of hard X rays typically used in X-Ray astronomy.

NASA funded the project in 2021 to the tune of $ 5.8M.
