Summary This proposal describes the effort associated with the continued development, coordination, and operation of the Colony II Bus Flight Test. The Colony II Bus is a standardized bus intended to advance CubeSat capabilities, permitting relatively rapid integration of payload, and simplification of ground station planning. The growing acceptance of the CubeSat, a very small satellite, as a means of accomplishing focused research objectives of national interest makes this project of great interest to the Space Systems Academic Group at NPS. It combines opportunities for student thesis work, university outreach, and the development of useful national capabilities, especially Key Functional Capability (KFC) #6, Innovative Capabilities.
