Summary	In support of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's (LLNL's) Space Situational Awareness (SSA) activities and as a continuation of previous collaborative work, we propose to work on the following tasks: support the integration and test and the flight operations of the SSA CubeSats and continue to develop and utilize an advanced attitude control test facility at NPS. Boeing-built CubeSat buses are being integrated with LLNL optical payloads to better enable tracking and ephemeris improvement of satellites and space debris. LLNL, Texas A&M University, and NPS are partnering to test the concept of using very small satellites to accomplish focused research projects of national interest. This project also provides opportunities for thesis research for NPS students.
