Abstract
The FemtoSats in Zero-G investigation was an ISS experiment in which a handheld deployer ejected four purely mechanical FemtoSats within the ISS. Femto Satellites are centimeter-scale spacecraft that weigh less than 100 grams. The FemtoSats and deployer were made on the Additive Manufacturing Facility (AMF) onboard the ISS on August 28th, 2017, and March 29th, 2017, respectively.
