Summary	In support of LLNL's Space Situational Awareness (SSA) activities, we propose to accomplish three tasks focused on building capability for flying a very small satellite of relevance to SSA and looking at integration of new and previously unexploited data sources into LLNL's space surveillance network. This work includes procuring and/or obtaining a COTS-based CubeSat Bus able to accept a TBD LLNL SSA payload and provides opportunities for thesis research of national interest for NPS students. A follow-on proposal will be produced consistent with the goal of producing, with LLNL, a launch-ready SSA CubeSat in 2011.
