Back ADAMSat: NPSCuL-Lite Flight Structure, Flight Documentation, and Integration Activities

Fiscal Year 2010
Division Graduate School of Engineering & Applied Science
Department Space Systems Academic Group
Investigator(s) Newman, James H.
Sponsor National Reconnaissance Office (DoD)
Summary This proposal seeks funding to complete the work started in support of ADAMSat to produce flight-ready hardware, with complete documentation, and to support integration activities. These activities are necessary and follow the previously NRO-funded activities for producing an NPSCuL-Lite Flight Unit for ADAMSat. ADAMSat, utilizing NPSCuL-Lite, with Cal Poly P-PODs and an Ecliptic sequencer, will permit a significant volume of CubeSats to be launched on an ESPA-compatible payload launcher, enabling NPS, other US Government, and university CubeSats to be efficiently launched. This proposal addresses the NRO Key Functional Capability (KFC) #6, Innovative Capabilities.
