Starshine 3 is 90 kg. It is built by NRL and the Rocky Mountain NASA Space Grant Consortium. Launch by Athena from Kodiak (Kodiak Star mission).
Starshine is mounted in the center of the Payload Upper Deck plate, with Picosat on one side and PCSat and Sapphire on the other.
Total 183 kg for all payloads: 90 (SS) + 68 (Pc) +16 (Saph) suggests around 10 for PCSAT.
Starshine was allocated the amateur radio name SO-43 (Starshine OSCAR 43) in Nov 2001.
The sphere is 0.94m dia. It carries solar cells and a transmitter, which failed after 101 days due to degraded battery voltage.

STS-73 was an EDO flight carrying the US Microgravity Lab 2 Spacelab long module. Launch mass was 116721 kg. Landing mass was 104514 kg. 1852 kg of RCS and 4927 kg of OMS fuel were used. During reentry, early and asymmetric boundary layer transition occurred at Mach 19 (instead of Mach 8 as usual), causing the hottest reentry to date.
