The Joint Air Force-Weber State University Satellite is an American military mini-satellite launched aboard a Minotaur rocket on January 27, 2000 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.[1] After its own launch, JAWSAT deployed four microsatellites: FalconSAT, OCSE, OPAL, and ASUSat.[2] JAWSAT also carried NASA's Plasma Experiment Satellite Test (PEST).
